The shipment

Liner Notes

Lyrics

When the shipment gets through you know what to do No witnesses, no survivors They could put a dent in our operations They won’t have much use for a retirement plan

Customs are set, you’ll sail right through A few notes in bribes will do Then take the back roads, avoid the freeway Don’t want no patrols to get in our way

Take it easy take it slow A lot is counting on this you know Do the job right, and you’ll have room to grow We’re always looking for new pros

If it all goes wrong, we’ll deny you exist No special treatment, so do not persist You won’t be taken care of, you’ll die in the jail Watch your back if you’re granted bail

Yes! It started and I immediately was excited to listen to it. I really love the B part (feels like a chorus if you were to repeat it).

Good idea for a subject. Why not more crime stories in songs? Your performance and storytelling made me think of Dylan.
