James McMurtry - Where'd You Hide the Body lyrics

rate me

You look across the table with those guilty eyes

So many mornings now, I shouldn't be surprised

When you lash out at me then you scream out in the night

What could you have done to get in such an awful fright?

Is it all that bad that you think I shouldn't see?

Well who're you gonna talk to if you can't tell me?

Where'd you hide the body?

Where'd you stash the loot?

Just keep your hands where I can see them

So I don't have to shoot

There's a smoking pistol at your side

That you swear it's not the one

Where'd you hide the body?

Where'd you get the gun?

Where'd you hide the body?

Where'd you get the gun?

When cornered you complain about the state of your career

And you look intently straight ahead, pretending I'm not here

And you look me in the eye and say "It's not about us"

And you tell me I'm so silly to be making such a fuss

So everything's okay except you're nervous as a cat

But what's it say about me if you think I'd fall for that?

Come on

Where'd you hide the body?

Where'd you stash the loot?

Just keep your hands where I can see them

And maybe I won't shoot

There's a smoking pistol at your side

And you swear it's not the one

Where'd you hide the body?

Where'd you get the gun?

Where'd you hide the body?

Where'd you ditch the gun?

Just keep your hands where I can see them

Make no attempt to run

You used to always throw me off your trail

But I guess those days are through

Where'd you hide the body?

What's consuming you?

Where'd you hide the body?

What's consuming you?
