Where'd You Hide The Body

James McMurtry

    Continues after the ad

    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?

    Continues after the ad

    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?
