Lyrics for The Ballad Of Cable Hogue

Traffic moving slowly, Monday morning Money talks, people hoping Cable Hogue, where've you been? Cable Hogue, where've you been? Something inside me tells me you won't show I know you're carrying heat But what for, God only knows Oh Cable, Cable, wish you were with me now Cable Hogue, where've you been? I just wanted to say goodbye Wanted so much to say goodbye Wanted to say goodbye to all my friends Case I die I need to go to Georgia, got a bank to blow Living ain't easy, but it's much harder when it's slow Oh Cable, Cable, why did you leave me? Cable Hogue, where you've been? You know they're looking for you down south All you've got to do is go down there And open your big fat mouth Oh Cable, Cable, you can't leave me here like this You can't leave me here like this, Cable Please don't leave me here like this You can't, you can't, you can't Thank you very much
