Crossfire

Well, don't mind me
Minding my business
Hanging clothes on the line
Watching him sneak in and out of her kitchen
Gettin' sugar on the side

When he came home I had his whiskey waiting
Like I do every night
But he was good as gone after one little taste of
Bittersweet cyanide

Crossfire
Dodging eyes like bullets
Crossfire
The talk of the town
The grapevine's buzzin' 'bout a missing husband
Who's nowhere to be found

But out back where the roses grow
Where good-for-nothing, lying, cheating lovers go
The truth is buried and it's just between
The good Lord and little ol' me

Well the sheriff says it sure smells funny
That I ain't shed a tear
And the preacher says he ain't seen me on a Sunday
Since the fool disappeared

And Betty Lou says she saw me with a shovel
And Mary Jo heard a shot
Rumors flyin' about a drag-out struggle
But gossip's all they got

Crossfire
Dodging eyes like bullets
Crossfire
The talk of the town
The grapevine's buzzin' 'bout a missing husband
Who's nowhere to be found

But out back where the roses grow
Where good-for-nothing, lying, cheating lovers go
The truth is buried and it's just between
The good Lord and little ol' me

Well I was paintin' my face when the cops came knockin'
To take me to the pen
Everybody and their mama on my front lawn watchin'
Wavin' on CNN

Crossfire
Dodging eyes like bullets
Crossfire
The talk of the town
The grapevine's buzzin' 'bout a missing husband
The neighbor's dog just found

Out back where the roses grow
Where good-for-nothing, lying, cheating lovers go
The truth is out but I've made my peace
With the good Lord and little ol' me
