Lyrics
With shaky hands and sweaty palms
My head is spinnin’ round
Put the body in the trunk
Hightail it out of town
Tried to hide ‘im in the silo
But that would’ve tipped my hand
Should’ve come clean from the start
But who’d understand
Would’ve spent the rest of my life
In a prison cell
I’m not a killer born
Though I may be damned to hell
What will my poor mama say
If they raise the bridge over the bay
The Coyote Roadhouse
On Kangaroo Lake
The identification
I gave them was fake
A vacant old barn
The body it was found
Chopped up by a chainsaw
Scattered around
I ain’t givin’ in
I ain’t lookin’ back
I’ve managed this time
To slip through the cracks
What will my poor mama say
If they raise the bridge over the bay
The pickup truck I stole
Couldn’t top 45
Pedal to the floor
For the Door County line
Headin’ into Sturgeon
Her harbor in my sights
Before me was the rising bridge
Behind me blue lights
What will my poor mama say
They’ve raised the bridge over the bay
What will my poor mama say
They’ve raised the bridge over the bay
