Lyrics

Just a Second Mrs. Charlie Jones

Charlie Jones drove long hall in a Kenworth diesel truck
Sheila waited tables on the night the lightnin' struck
She married him in Vegas happy for her stroke o' luck
Back in Albuquerque no one knew about the crime
Seems that Charlie quietly had wed a second time
But he got good at shiftin' gears & crossin' border lines

CHORUS
It seemed when he was never home he never seemed to be alone
Hold on just a second Mr. Charlie Jones
We heard he lived a double life when he two timed a second wife
Hold on just a second Mrs. Charlie Jones

In a no tell Motel Charlie Jones ran out of gas
Word had gotten out about his double dealing past
But Charlie never dreamed this fateful night would be his last
The desk clerk was awakened by a single ringin' shot
Coulda been a second one he said on second thought
But whoever held that thirty-eight was never ever caught
CHORUS
BRIDGE
He didn't leave his money never told 'em why
But Charlie left this world with one last surprise
The morning he was buried up on Chapel Hill
3 young women showed up for the readin' of the will
CHORUS...Hold on one more second Mrs. Charlie Jones
