Been shanghaied down in Laredo
The sunshine sticks to the dusty floor
I'm listening 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
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
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 shoe box 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 feeling this deal has gone bad
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
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 shoe box those sweet snapshots blackmail on the rocks
Laredo, Laredo
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river
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 shoe box those sweet snapshots blackmail on rocks
