Between Winston Salem and Nashville Tennessee
There's a trouble ahead and trouble behind for me
Sue don't know about Mary and Mary don't know about Sue
It's tough enough supporten one but like a fool I married two

I drive a trailer truck and I take the midnight run
And the company said don't pick up anyone
But one night in the rainstorm I did what I shouldn't do
I gave a girl a ride to Nashville and that's how I met Sue

As the miles rolled by she heard the story of my life
But I left out one important thing my wife
She kissed away my conscience till I felt like I was free
Oh well I woke up two days later I had a wife in Tennessee

Between Winston Salem and Nashville Tennessee
There's a little old jail where you can visit me
Sue found out about Mary and Mary found out about Sue
So that'll be about three years before I can marry you
Yes that'll be about three years before I can marry you
