  • Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
    Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
    One is 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
    Bye bye, bye bye
    Yeah they took turns laying 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 black Cadillacs, two black Cadillacs

    Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone
    Turns out he'd been lying to both of them for oh so long
    They decided then he'd never get away with doing this to them
    Two black Cadillacs waiting for the right time, the right 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
    Bye bye, bye bye
    Yeah they took turns laying 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

    It was the first and the last time they saw each other face to face
    They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
    And left 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
    Bye bye, bye bye
    Yeah they took turns laying 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 Writer/s: Carrie Underwood, Hillary Lindsey, Josh Kear

  • Robert from Kintore OntCarrie came many times. First good girl. Then some love stories. She complained all her writer wanted to do was talk about love. She's pretty. She yeawned bored. Asked about my life. My aunts boyfriend had died of cancer. But his wife had found out. Overdosed on pills. It's bad when you know all three players in a tragic story. No charges. The rest is similar to the video.
