Where Do I Hide Lyrics
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
I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
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
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"
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
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"
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
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
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
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"
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
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"

I could be wrong but, i hears this song over and over and the only concept i could come up with for this song is that he is talking about being charged for his friends crime.If anyone has anything different from that LET ME KNOW!
The walking down the aisle part is a courtroom. He got caught for someone else's crime.

Sounds like he helped a friend who committed a crime but got caught helping him.
I never thought of it the way everyone else is talking about it, but it makes perfect sence
i know exactly what this song is about, i read about it in a ny post interview on www.nickelback.com.. when chad went into juvi hall with a friend, chad came out, and his friend didn't because he tried to get high after injecting something in his arm.. pretty sad, but overall a really damn good song.
yes 'pillow' thats what its about.. in a nutshell. its about chads friend, corey, who went to a minimum security prison. everytime he escaped hed go back to his hometown. one time he showed up at chads house trying to hide from the cops. corey died in prison on his 18th birthday.
thanks to @pillow's comment I finally found it: June 28, 2002 - New York Post - ROCKY ROAD TRIP – CHAD KROEGER WANTS TO MAKE SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR

"Post: Should people look deeply into your lyrics?
Kroeger: Absolutely. But some of it is very cryptic, unless I told you, 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 was going to get him high.
Unless I actually told you that story, you wouldn’t know that’s what the song “Where Do I Hide” is all about."
also Chad talks about the song here - Nickelback - Leader Of Men, Where Do I Hide - The Joint - Las Vegas - 3-2-2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8Hz9AhRlxQ

man i agreee that he got cought for a crime he didt comite and i think that it was hes friend that did the crime or mabey they both had something to do with it but he was the only one cought or his friend ratted him out withce is trippy man
really? See, cause I always thought it sounded like he committed the crime but framed his friend. He tells his friend where to hide then rats him out.
I have no clue.. I was thinking more along the lines of marriage. Walking down the aisle staring straight at you. I still hear you screaming where do I hide? I'm thinking.... She doesnt want to marry him. That's my conclusion, Bro
Well, i think this song is more about him and his friend both committing crimes, then they both hide in different places and his friend gets caught but he doesnt
