The Night I Found A Body (based on a true event)

A body was there by the side of the road 

It was laying In the mud

I drove on by with guilt inside 

When my instincts took a thud

I turned the car, my pulse pumped fast

Blood pounding In my head

I pulled up close I was not wrong

Somebody lay there dead

I phoned the police with shaking hand

As my legs they went to jelly

l could see my face all round the place

In the papers and on the telly

All was quiet, I'm all alone 

With this body In the gutter 

I jumped a mile when It gave a smile

It was just a drunken nutter
