The shipment
by @gordon
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
(c) words and music G Todd 2025
Comments
Good idea for a subject. Why not more crime stories in songs? Your performance and storytelling made me think of Dylan.
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).
