It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone

You don't gotta watch the news
Just sit down and place your order
Specials up on that chalkboard and
Something's brewing in that corner
They pour their coffee and get their tea
But you didn't hear it from me

That sugar in his cup
Ain't the only thing he's stirring up
Says he saw my cousin Kelly
Get out of someone else's truck
She looked tired and she looked sweaty
And her husband gets back this week
But you didn't hear it from me

Drink it up like water
Come and get your fill
These tales keep getting taller
Run that rumor mill
You know what you do when you assume
Before you even know the truth
Every lie you tell is like poison in the well

Word got round to her husband
Now he's taking her to court
He ain't buyin' what she's selling
Now he's filing for divorce
I heard he's taking everything
But you didn't hear it from me

Well here's what really happened
It's not what you all believed
Her tire blew out on 30,
And she was wrenching in that heat
A truck pulled up, said jump in
Cause I'm headed where you live

Drink it up like water
Come and get your fill
These tales keep getting taller
Run that rumor mill
You know what you do when you assume
Before you even know the truth
Every lie you tell is like poison in the well

That fire don't need stoked
So keep those loose lips closed
It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone

Drink it up like water
Come and get your fill
These tales keep getting taller
Run that rumor mill
You know what you do when you assume
Before you even know the truth
Every lie you tell is like poison in the well

It all starts with a whisper on the devil's telephone
