It was as open-and-shut as anything I have seen He was a pillar of town, his reputation was clean It was right 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 The preacher was dead on the bedroom floor 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 Selma 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, and 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 Make 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 Them 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 And it was them high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear
