I saw her lyin’ at another man's arms While wearin’ my ring I felt my blood gettin’ on fire So I didn’t even stop to think, yeah But who turned out to be the idiot In that whole odd situation was me The young man was her distant brother I’d never had the pleasure to meet I smelled some scotch whisky on her breath When she arrived one night But she was visitin’ her granny At the nursin’ room, for my surprise At first I didn’t understand Why she’d come with that kind of lie If I knew old granny drank some whiskey I'd probably come by to say hi I'll take a closer look On the things that she had done My friends call me blind But I know she sings my songs The day she walked out midnight I probably should have gone But I'm sure it was the preacher man Callin’ on the telephone, that's right I saw her dancing at the bar with some dude While wearin’ my hat After she told me she couldn't meet with me Due to her sick blue cat As I walked up to confront them Then I met the man that she calls Brad A distant dark haired cousin That I didn't even know she had She came home one night And her jacket smelled like cigarettes But everytime I smoke around her Good Lord, it drives her mad She starts complaining ‘bout the smell That's taking over her warm bed Not only that, that day her lipstick Was all the way down her neck, Lord I'll take a closer look On the things that she had done My friends call me blind But I know she sings my songs The day she walked out midnight I probably should have gone But I'm sure it was the preacher man Callin’ on the telephone, oh mama I see them fellers you say hi at the gym A-laughin' at me Pointin’ their roid-filled fingers Tryin’ to cover their lips, yeah I know they can’t resist I know they ain't tryna be mean I'm just the funniest lad This whole town has ever seen, yeah I'll take a closer look On the things that she had done My friends call me blind But I know she sings my songs The day she walked out midnight I probably should have gone But I'm sure it was the preacher man Callin’ on the telephone Sure it was the preacher man Callin’ on her telephone, yeah
