Lady: Hallo
I remember standing there so petrifiedMy hand frozen to the phoneAs a stranger's words that caught in my earsAnd chilled me to the boneSome dark tragedy had come right home to meThey'd kidnapped my man and his life was in their hands
He was a hostage, a hostageHis life was at the mercy of their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life depending on their gold demands
Lady: Hallo
Kidnapper:Lady, here's your husband throughTo warn not to play any games
Husband:Hi Honey listen I'm okayJust make sure you do whatever they tell youAnd whatever you do don't go to the police!
Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fastSo I was left no other choiceSo I called the police and they came in fastSaying "leave it up to usJust do as they toldThe ransom's in this bagWe'll watch over youAnd we'll have your husband back too"
He was a hostage, a hostageHis life was at the mercy of their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life depending on their gold demands
Lady: Hallo
Kidnapper:Listen very carefully ladyDrive out to the abandoned shack on Highway 16Throw the package of money out the window and keep drivingAnd remember lady no police!
Well my heart was heavy as I made that driveI was sure something was wrongI soon found the shackI threw out the bag and I just kept driving onThen the shots rang out and turned my car aboutOn the ground one lay but the other had gotten away
He was a hostage, a hostageHis life was at the mercy of their handsHe was a hostage, a hostageHis life depending on their gold demands
Lady:Well they found my husband a few days laterYes, the funeral's tomorrow
