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?
Thought it was Toby Keith at first...

I have new respect for the man - not that I didn't respect him before, but this puts him over the top on my "cool-meter."

miss you so much, Cynaera...
love this song...
I have not seen her naked for that long.
This is one of my favorite McMurtry songs but he must not like it because I've never heard him play it.
I've been a fan for years. I used to see him whenever he came through Northern California (I saw him maybe 5 times). I've been in Austin for about 4 years now and have probably seen him a dozen more times here and he's never played this tume.
He and his band are great and you should see them if you get the chance, but I think he's gotten into kind of a rut. There are a few core songs that he plays every show. Over the years he's added a few new ones when a new album comes out (only 2 studio albums in the past 10 years) but basically a show from 8 years ago is about the same as one from today.
Edit - hmm, not sure that it is Darren Hess on that album. I'll have to check the album liner when I get home.
That's Jim Brock on drums, probably brought in by Don Dixon, who produced the album. My guess also is it was Dixon who persuaded McMurtry to sign with Sugar Hill, which issued his next three albums and for whom Dixon, wife Marti Jones, and fellow traveler Jamie Hoover (Spongetones) also recorded. Brock at this time was pretty much the "house drummer" for Dixon, Jones, and Hoover.
Levelland never ceases to amaze me. The lines:
"Don't think she's seen the sky
Since we got the satellite dish"
Strike home with me for a number of reasons.
"And I can see the marching band, doing the best they can, to play Smoke on the Water, Joy to the World"...there is an amazing live acoustic version of this song on Youtube

i just love the sublimely understated singing style of McMurtry, and his constantly thoughtful, and often half-sarcastic lines.

Not sure, check the uploads. Everything was rejected.
Personally, I think Used Guitars was one of the best albums of the 80's.
It's got a young Sonny Landreth all over it.
McMurtry > trolls
I bet you're one of those folks who makes statements (at a party) like "Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen/Kurt Cobain can't sing."
I just want to scream, "Attention: Captain Obvious is in the room!".
Buy an i-Pod and amuse yourself, for Christ's sake.
I swear to God I was writing this before Nirvana came up. I think we must be "synced up" tonight, Bill. What a hoot. I haven't had an experience like that in a loooooong time.
