Lyrics for Cable Hogue

Traffic movin' slowly, Monday mornin' Money talks, people hopin' Cable Hogue, oh, where've you been? Cable Hogue, where you've been? Something tells me that you won't show Though you carry heat, God only knows Cable, Cable, why'd you leave me? Cable, where you've been? I just wanted to say goodbye Wanted so much to say goodbye Wanted to say goodbye In case I die Need to go to Georgia, got a bank to blow Though it, living ain't easy, living's much harder when it's slow Oh, Cable Hogue, wish you were with me now Cable, you know I love you, love you so Cable, Cable, oh, I love you so Though they're lookin' for you down south And all you've got to do is go down there And open up your fat mouth Oh, Cable, Cable, Cable, where you've been?
