David Wilcox - Wilford Brandon Hayes Lyrics

A lot of 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 her porch
She heard his cell phone ring
And with her window wide
She stayed quiet inside
And she heard everything

There's something new and exciting
In this love you've 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 the 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'd walked into a noose
A high-speed pursuit ended with them dead

There's something new and exciting
In this love you've 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 upon the stone
The name she knew she'd known
Wilford Brandon Hayes

So every now and then
She walks up in the woods
A 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've 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
She's 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 comin'

Should have known
She's the one
The kinda girl that got a gun

She saw him coming
