Carlene Carter (born Rebecca Carlene Smith; September 26, 1955) is an American country singer and songwriter. She is the daughter of June Carter and her first husband, Carl Smith.
Between 1978 and the present, Carter has recorded twelve albums, primarily on major labels. In the same timespan, she has released more than twenty singles, including three No. 3-peaking hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
Carlene Carter's earliest released solo recording was "Friendly Gates", a track included on her stepfather Johnny Cash's 1974 album The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me and credited under the name Carlene Routh.
Her solo recording career had begun in the late 1970s with her eponymous debut album. In 1979, during a concert at New York's Bottom Line, she introduced a song about mate-swapping called Swap-Meat Rag, from her album Two Sides to Every Woman, by stating, "If this song don't put the cunt back in country, I don't know what will." Johnny Cash and her mother June Carter were in the audience, unknown to Carlene. The comment was quoted widely in the press and Carter spent much of the next decade trying to live it down.

A dust in the wind
He stacks the deck right
So he's sure to win
He's just an illusion
A master of confusion
One of those losers
That always wins
Chorus:
Don't lay down beside him
'Cause when you reach to find him
He'll be gone
The song he was singin'
He's a hell-raisin' angel
And a heaven-sent devil
He cannot be trusted with love
He's a song you can't forget
Once you sing it
Like the money you bet
You'll probably regret it
He's an answered prayer
A childish dare
And a fool-hearty outlaw
Who's just passing through
Repeat Chorus
Keeps his hat on his head
His hand on his heart
His boots by the bed
While he studies his heart
His truth is deceivin'
Stays for the leavin'
He's a bandit of love
A collector of hearts
Repeat Chorus
He cannot be trusted with love
No he cannot be trusted with love
He cannot be trusted with love
