Hub City Shakedown Lyrics by Grant Gilbert

Loud & Clear - EP

0

[Verse 1]
Maggie's cheeks are burnin' red around her cigarette
She'd leave them if she got the chance but hasn't found one yet
Married on the cobblestone in 1928
Lost before they knew it in the Hub City shakedown
[Verse 2]
Eddie's workin' late at night, a pistol in his belt
But sneakin' to the easy speak so no one tries to tell
Maggie's found another man that doesn't make her wait
Just another victim of the Hub City shakedown
[Chorus]
Slidin' down 9th street, runnin' from the law
Say keep your nose clean and you won't get caught
But one day boy you know your luck's bound to run out
[Verse 3]
Eddie's final ante up was one he didn't win
And Tommy never met his dad, 'cause Mama turned him in
Maggie's got the silver Ed was savin' in the bank
'Cause Eddie wasn't plannin' on the Hub City shakedown
[Chorus]
Slidin' down 9th street, runnin' from the law
Say keep your nose clean and you won't get caught
But one day boy you know your luck's bound to run out
[Chorus]
Slidin' down 9th street, runnin' from the law
Say keep your nose clean and you won't get caught
But one day boy you know your luck's bound to run out
[Outro]
In the Hub City shakedown
The Hub City shakedown
