Two black cadillacs driving in a slow parade
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One’s for his wife
The other for the woman who loved him at night
Two black cadillacs meeting for the first time

And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Yeah they took turns layin' a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he been lying to both of them for oh so long
They decided then he’d never get away for doing this to them
Two black cadillacs waiting for the ride down, ride down

And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Yeah they took turns layin' a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye

It was the first time and last time they saw
Each other face to face
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
And let the secret at the grave

And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Yeah they took turns layin' a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
