James McMurtry - The Governor lyrics

Does the Governer know who k**ed 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 k**ed the fishermen? Does the Governor know who k**ed 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 k**ed 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 k**ed 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 k**ed the fishermen? Does the Governor know who k**ed the fishermen? Does the Governor know who k**ed the fishermen?
