Cass Clayton - That's What They Say Lyrics

That's what they say, that's what... they... say

Used to listen as a child, the things I'd overhear
In my mama's living room the ladies would appear
Talk about love, talk about life, talk about you and me
Who's sneaking out the back door, taking off her wedding ring

That's what they say, that's what... they... say
That's what they say, that's what... they... say heyyyy

Rushing to the altar, shotgun wedding day
White dress tied around her, a child is on the way
Driven to disaster, methadone and gin
In a few months time, he'll never see that child again

Do you know the story, it has a tragic end
She walked in and surprised him, with his brand new friend
Met him with a shotgun, cocked up to his head
They found him in the backyard, least that's what they say

That's what they say, that's what... they... say
That's what they say, that's what... they... say
That's what they say, that's what they say

If you go astray...they'll be right there to spread the word
Whispering the details, no one should've heard
Reporting on your weaknesses, and everybody knows
There ain't nothing better than someone else's woes

That's what they say, that's what... they... say
That's what they say, that's what... they... say
