Chad Kroeger about Where Do I Hide:
“This song is about me and a friend who got in trouble when we were both really young. I got sent away and came back a few months later and straightened out my act, and he didn’t. He died in prison on his 18th birthday, injecting something into his arm he thought...
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin' for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
[Chorus]
I still hear him screaming "Where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "Hurry inside"
[Verse]
He said, she said, no she don't
Be back before morning, You know she won't
I remember that summer, like yesterday
And I remember his mother, as he was dragged away
[Chorus]
I still hear him screaming "Where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "Hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories, yours and not mine
And he asks and I say "Hurry inside"
[Pre-Chorus]
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin' for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
[Chorus]
I still hear him screaming "Where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "Hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories, yours and not mine
And he asks and I say "Hurry inside"
"Where do I hide?"
