| She was the prom queen
|
| He was the quarterback of the football team
|
| And it all looked so promising
|
| We never thought anything would happen like this
|
| And then all of a sudden
|
| Twenty-five years of love and devotion
|
| Down the drain
|
| We all heard her hollerin'
|
| For a country mile
|
| Cheatin' shows your complete lack of style
|
| Well she took out three parking meters
|
| And a pedestrian’s purse
|
| The day she quit the baptist choir
|
| And threw that Ford into reverse
|
| Lock up your husbands
|
| Lock up your sons
|
| Lock up your whiskey cabinets
|
| Girls lock up your guns
|
| Lock up the beauty shop
|
| No tellin' if they’ve heard the news
|
| Call the boys downtown at Neiman Marcus
|
| Tell 'em lock up them high heels shoes
|
| When God-fearin' women get the blues
|
| There ain’t no slap-dab-a tellin'
|
| What they’re gonna do
|
| Run around yellin'
|
| I’ve got a Mustang
|
| It’ll do 80
|
| You don’t have to be my baby
|
| I’ve stirred my last batch of gravy
|
| You don’t have to be my baby
|
| Call all the deacons
|
| Call the ladies aid
|
| Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors
|
| Call every bass
|
| Well call all the Pentecostals
|
| Bring that anointing oil, too
|
| Well call the preacher
|
| He’s the only one can reach her
|
| And there’s ain’t no time to lose
|
| When God-fearin' women get the blues
|
| There ain’t no slap-dab-a tellin'
|
| What they’re gonna do
|
| Run around yellin'
|
| I’ve got a Mustang
|
| It’ll do 80
|
| You don’t have to be my baby
|
| I’ve stirred my last batch of gravy
|
| You don’t have to be my baby
|
| She’s on all our prayer lists
|
| She’s on all our hearts
|
| As for the Easter cantata
|
| We don’t know who’ll sang her part
|
| When God-fearin' women get the blues
|
| There ain’t no slap-dab-a tellin'
|
| What they’re gonna do
|
| Run around yellin'
|
| I’ve got a Mustang
|
| It’ll do 80
|
| You don’t have to be my baby
|
| I’ve stirred my last batch of gravy
|
| You don’t have to be my baby |
