These are the lyrics for Two Black Cadillacs, off Carrie Underwood’s album “Blown Away.”
[Verse 1]
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One’s for his wife,
the other for the woman who loved him at night
Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time
[Chorus]
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Bye, Bye
Yeah they took turns layin’ a rose down
threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye
[Verse 2:]
Two black cadillacs, two black cadillacs
Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he been lying to both of them for oh so long
They decided then he’d never get away for doing this to them
Two black cadillacs waiting for the right time, right time
[Chorus:]
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Bye bye, Bye bye
Yeah they took turns layin’ a rose down
threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah yeah
[Bridge:]
It was the first time and last time they saw each other face to face
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
And left the secret at the grave
[Chorus:]
And the preacher said he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn’t bother to cry
Bye bye, Bye bye
Yeah they took turns layin’ a rose down
threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Music outro]

I’m hearing:
“they took turns laying a rose down”
“Two black cadillacs waiting for the right time”

I haven’t seen this in any review so far, but my interpretation is that the women made plans to kill the cheating husband over the phone, somehow with that thought in mind to me the song is incredibly amazing and it adds a lot more depth to it. The song is SO dark and crazy, I still can’t believe Carrie would do a song like this. Love it!

I think it’s obvious so I didn’t point it out. Besides, I don’t want to ruin it for those who haven’t heard the song. But yes, great song.

Hi,
It should read “And left the secret at the grave” – not “let”
