“Two Black Cadillacs” is the third single taken from Carrie Underwood’s fourth studio album Blown Away.
“Two Black Cadillacs” tells the story of two women who, when they realize they are both dating the same guy, set aside their differences and decide to take care of things together.
The six minut...
[Verse 1]
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One is 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, 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
[Post-Chorus]
Two black Cadillacs
Two black Cadillacs
[Verse 2]
Two months ago, his wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he'd been lyin' to both of them for oh so long
They decided then, he'd never get away with doing this to them
Two black Cadillacs waiting for the right time, the 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 laying 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
(Two black Cadillacs)
[Bridge]
It was the first and the 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, they didn’t bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye) Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, they took turns laying 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, yeah

Co-writer Hillary Lindsey on writing the song with Josh Kear:
Josh lives a few houses down from me. He’s like a mad scientist. He sits at home and comes up with ideas. He had the “two black Cadillacs” idea. It was a little more soulful so it was fun creating the story. Carrie took the video to anot...
Yes, a radio edit was released for the song. The radio edit was cut from the 4:58 album version to 4:01. It featured a shorter outro:
Speaking of the track, Underwood stated:
It was so much fun to write and just be in that room … and we didn’t really know what to expect or where we were headed or what we would end up with. It’s just drama. It’s drama, and it’s dark, but it’s also, you have to listen to the whole thing. You’re suc...
