Well he stood there real tall with his thumbs inside his belt
Kinda' late in the day at least that's how it felt
Night was still early as he looked me up and down
Where you off to old man he said thats the wrong way for town
I'm gonna' go meet my nieces a ways down this track
Though it's getting late and soon I'll have to head back
Ain't nobody livin' down there old man he said you hearin' me
But I've been down here before officer and my nieces are waiting for me
You callin' me a liar old man well no sir not at all
It's just there's been a mistake here some confusion that's all
He said there ain't no mix up here you trust me save your feet
I couldn't help myself I mentioned I'd been here just last week
I couldn't help myself I mentioned I'd been here just last week
Well he stiffened his poise and adjusted his shades as they caught the dyin' sun
Then he stooped down real close and rested a palm on his gun
I smelled coffee on his breath and tobacco as he explained
I'm losin' my patience with you old man I won't tell you again
There ain't no one livin' down there you see this track is cordoned off
And down there is a crime scene now I think I've said enough
You people are all the same he said as I took in the situation
Was probably one of your own this is a homicide investigation
Probably one of your own this is a murder investigation
Probably one of your own this is a murder investigation
Murder investigation
Murder investigation
