The Governor |
| Does the Governer know who killed the fishermen |
| On the lake last night? |
| Was the cigarette boat comin' 'round the point like a bat out of hell |
| Wasn’t burnin' his lights? |
| The cigarette boat is not even legal |
| The lake’s too narrow to be goin' that fast |
| Two fishermen sat in an old green Jon boat |
| Makin' one more cast |
| Full moon rising big and pale |
| That cigarette boat didn’t even slow down |
| It was throwin' up a big old rooster tail |
| And it ran right through 'em with a sickening sound |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
| The game warden’s here and the EMS |
| They hauled up the body with a rope and a hook |
| They got no leads and no suspects |
| State trooper says they’re not even gonna look |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
| Had to have been some fat cat |
| Them cigarette boats, they cost many |
| Can’t just anybody buy a boat like that |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
| They can’t find the boat, they can’t find the trailer |
| They were watchin' the ramps, big mistake |
| I’ll bet you the farm it’s in somebodies' boathouse |
| It never made the ramp and it’s still on the lake |
| They try to get a warrant… dream all you want |
| they won’t be searchin' any lake front homes |
| Justice is blind to them that own it |
| Money don’t talk when it’s one of their own |
| Money don’t talk when it’s one of their own |
| Money don’t talk when it’s one of their own |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
| Does the Governor know who killed the fishermen? |
