The Wig He Made Her Wear

It was as open and shut as anything I had seen
 He was a pillar of town, his reputation was clean
 He was rob before Easter in the first week of spring
 He didn't show up for service that Wednesday night
 The congregation knew something weren't right
 Blood on the bed when they opened the door
 Preacher was dead on the bedroom floor
 And everyone knew there had to be some outside thing
 That made this happen
 Because they seemed like the perfect family
 He'd been shot in the back a day before he was found
 His wife and three kids were nowhere around
 An Amber Alert was issued in town
 Everyone was shocked at the scene of the crime
 She'd taken the kids across two state lines
 Found her in Orange Beach with the kids in the car
 Sent back to Selmer to await her trial for first-degree murder
 ♪
 Was 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
 Made a run for it
 Said they were having a fight and the gun was a bluff
 She didn't pull the trigger it just went off
 Said that he berated her about everything
 Made her do things that made her feel so ashamed
 Nobody at church would ever suspect
 Made her dress up slutty before they had sex
 In the courtroom that day there was an audible gasp
 What they put up on display the locals couldn't quite grasp
 There was an audible gasp in the courtroom that day
 When the defense pulled out and displayed
 They're on high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear
 Reduced her charge to voluntary manslaughter
 And I ain't judging either way but she's already out of jail
 There wasn't high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear
