I was third alto on the second row of the First Baptist church choir

I was keeper of the minutes for the Tri Delts, in charge of the homecoming bonfire

I was a straight 'A', straight laced, level-headed as they come

And parked at the Sonic, isn't that ironic, when my whole world came undone

One slot over was a calf roper giving me his George Strait smile

And before I knew Miss Good-Two-Shoes was two-steppin', runnin' wild.

If she seems bitter of other ways,

Seems to have lost her Baptist ways,

If the truth comes harder than a lie,

If she's guilty, so am I
