James McMurtry - Where'd You Hide The Body Lyrics






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?

    @MsPony65 . No offense to Mrs. McMurty was intended dariln. Jeez, ya know things are bad when you cain't even compliment somebody without somebody else taking offense at it for no damn reason in the world. People are just plain nutz nowadays.

    Weried.

  17. M.... G....

    I'm sorry but McMurty's mouth is going to get him lying in a ditch somewhere. The man is brilliant but...Goddamn!!! But his stuff is so...off the wall!!! I played SAFE SIDE to a CW fanantic and he was not amused. Something about GODDAMN HIPPY!!! I played it to some Mexican Friends of mine and the were ESPECIALLY NOT AMUSED!!! Something about Pinche Americano!!! I love his stuff Here's Johnny and Safe Side (I wish he'd sing the entire song in Spanglish).

    M.... G....

    Michael Goncalves you and that hillbilly are too thick to understand.As far as James ending up in a ditch I seriously doubt that.James know his way around a firearm.If you cant handle the truth in his lyrics dont listen.Go checkout justin beiber.This is grownup music.

    M.... G....

    His music is “off the wall?” Let me guess—you like to drink rum and listen to Kenny and Jimmy. Stay in your own lane and don’t cross the street without your Mommy.

  18. M.... A....

    what happened to the video? it's been removed everywhere

  19. F.... P....

    where'd you hide the body...what's consuming you great breakup song

  20. F.... P....

    McMurtry is a genius. His lyrics are crazy good. Doesn't hurt to have Larry McMurtry's genes yo..

    F.... P....

    Feudi Pandola Checkout James kid Curtis.Hes a bad ass too just like James and Larry!
