Jane's Song

Buddy met Sadie at the Fairgrounds
'bout 9 years ago to this day
love at first sight was how Sadie described it
or so her sister Jane used to say
Buddy used to say that it was lust instead of love
but his friends they knew he meant the same thing
Either way you know that they were married
very nearly right away

Everybody came to the wedding
Sadie wore a gown of white
Sadie's mom cried and her father kept smiling
everything it felt just right
Buddy's friends tied a bunch of cans to his bumper
and they all wished them well with rice
Everyone was partying right through the afternoon
and well on into the night

Friends and family pitched in to send them to Atlantic City
for a weekend honeymoon
Sadie got a job cutting hair at the mall
and Buddy's parents rented them a room
For the first few years you know that money was tight
but that's not unusual
The couple worked hard and saved nearly every penny
and things were looking up real soon

Jane said she will not forget the yellow tape
that ran the border of the crime scene
or the K9 unit brought in to find the body
it was feeling like a real bad dream
Sadie's mother said she felt her heart would come apart
she was tearing right at the seems
Buddy's father had a far away look in his eyes
or so it appeared on TV

Buddy was captured the next state over
used a credit card to purchase gas
Nobody could figure out a motive
everybody thought the two would last
When Jane shot Buddy nobody could stop her
Everything it happened so fast
Jane is doing life and she's working on a book
it's expected to sell en masse
