Story Behind The Song

The music came first and the lyrical theme followed naturally.

Song Description

A likeable character always seems to be stepping on his own foot. I think of Inspector Clouseau, Charlie Brown, and Spy Vs Spy all rolled in one.

Lyrics

Somebody's Hidin' (Hidin' Blues)

Two steps from heaven, knee deep in hell,
Somebody's Hidin, but his name he don't tell.
He works undercover; he's a master of disguise,
He's got lots of money, he buys his alibis.

He sticks to the shadows, he runs from the light.
One look at his face, and you know he ain't right,
Well I would be fine if I could loose that grip,
But somebody keeps on hidin' and he just won't quit.

Somebody's Hidin' he ain't nowhere to be found,
I follow his trail but he just spins me around.
He goes incognito; he's a messenger of demise,
He'll sabotage and try to bungle up my life.

He blazes a trail of deception and lies,
One look at that face, and you know he ain't right.
Well I would be fine if I could just loose that grip,
But somebody keeps on hidin'; he keeps givin' me the slip;

Bridge


These hidin' blues have got me down and out,
But I'm gonna dig in and just wait 'em out,
I'll keep both eyes set on the Master's plan,
'cause these blues ain't nothin but a good man feeling bad.

Somebody's Hidin and he just won't quit,
Somebody's Hidin. he keep givin' me the slip
He's got me feelin'like I've been had
I got no reason but I still feel sad
Somebody's Hidin
Somebody's Hidin
