Where'd You Hide The Body Lyrics - James Mcmurtry

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?
