Laredo

Been shanghaied down in Laredo

The sunshine sticks to the dusty floor

I'm listenin' for the pay phone

A flask rolls in through a hole in the screen door

The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river

(Repeat)

Guess you found out that you can't hold your liquor

Keep your eyes shut, it'll go down quicker

The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river, now

Stolen from a shoebox

Those sweet snapshots

Blackmail on rocks

Nickels on a squirt gun

The jailbirds sing at the crack of dawn

We got records, they're locked in my head

I gotta a feelin' this deal has gone bad

The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river

(Repeat)

Well, put it in the car, got revenge in my liver

Just pass the sign, outside the city limit

The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river, now

Stolen from a shoebox

Those sweet snapshots

Blackmail on the rocks

Laredo

Laredo

The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river

(Repeat)

Well, put it in the car, got revenge in my liver

Just pass the sign, outside the city limit

The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river, now

Stolen from a shoebox

Those sweet snapshots

Blackmail on rocks
