"Wilford Brandon Hayes" lyrics - DAVID WILCOX

A lotta cash
Five-hundred eighty grand
Buried in the woods
In sixteen ammo cans
Changed his pants and shirt
Washed his hands and face
He tracked that graveyard dirt up the concrete steps
To his girlfriend's place

He knew that she was home
She faked she was asleep
She had not known him long
But she was in too deep
He stood there on the porch
She heard his cellphone ring
And with the windows wide she stayed quiet inside
And she heard everything

There's something new and exciting in this love you found
But there's a whole other story, underground

She heard him laugh
He said it's dust to dust
He said he was glad
There's one man he could trust
But then he said a name
Wilford Brandon Hayes
A name that she was sure she had heard before
In her younger days

He spoke of one more hit
She heard the where and when
Next day back at work
She called them with his plans
So on the friday news
Two male suspects fled
They walked into a noose, a high-speed pursuit
Ended with them dead

There's something new and exciting in this love you found
But there's a whole other story, underground

She took a walk
Way up on the ridge
Where she once camped out
When she was just a kid
Lost up in the woods
An old forgotten grave
And carved up on the stone, the name she knew she'd known
Wilford Brandon Hayes

So every now and then
She walks up in the woods
Little mountain air
Bound to do you good
She takes a picnic lunch
Packs enough for one
And from her secret stash she takes a stack of cash
To have a little fun

There's something new and exciting in this love you found
But there's a whole other story, underground

She kept her job
Wears a business dress
Good at what she does
Some say she's the best
Got that corner view
Got that great big desk
She's the one he screwed, she's got attitude
She's the IRS

She saw the red flag coming
She saw the red flag coming
Shoulda known she's the one
Kinda girl that got it done
She saw him coming
She saw him coming
She saw him coming
She saw him coming
She saw him coming, ah way all
She saw him coming, saw the red flag
