It was as open-and-shut as anything I have seenHe was a pillar of town, his reputation was cleanIt was right before Easter in the first week of springHe didn't show up for service that Wednesday nightThe congregation knew something weren't rightBlood on the bed when they opened the doorThe preacher was dead on the bedroom floorEveryone knew there had to be some outside thing that made this happenBecause they seemed like the perfect familyHe'd been shot in the back a day before he was foundHis wife and three kids were nowhere aroundAn Amber Alert was issued in townEveryone was shocked at the scene of the crimeShe'd taken the kids across two state linesFound her in Orange Beach with the kids in the carSent back to Selma to await her trial for first-degree murderWas she crazy or just plain old mean to have gone and done it?She said she heard the bang and was afraid he'd be mad, and made a run for itSaid, they were having a fight and the gun was a bluffShe didn't pull the trigger, it just went offSaid that he berated her about everythingMake her do things that made her feel so ashamedLetras de cancionesNobody at church would ever suspectMade her dress up slutty before they had sexIn the courtroom that day there was an audible gaspWhat they put up on display the locals couldn't quite graspThere was an audible gasp in the courtroom that dayWhen the defense pulled out and displayedThem high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wearReduced her charge to voluntary manslaughterAnd I ain't judging either way, but she's already out of jailAnd it was them high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear From Letras Mania
