"Hub City Shakedown" lyrics

Maggie's cheeks are burning red around her cigarette
She'd leave him 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

Eddie's working late at night with a pistol in his belt
Sneak into the easy speak so no one tries to tell
Maggie's found another man who doesn't make her wait
Just another victim of the Hub City Shakedown

Sliding down 9th street running from the law
Say keep your nose clean and you won't get caught
One day boy you know your lucks bound to run out

Eddie's final ante up was one he didn't win
And Tommy never met his dad 'cause momma turned him in
Maggie's got the silver Ed was saving in the bank
'Cause Eddie wasn't planning on the Hub City Shakedown

Sliding down 9th street running from the law
Say keep your nose clean and you won't get caught
One day boy you know your lucks bound to run out

Sliding and down 9th street running from the law
Say keep your nose clean and you won't get caught
One day boy you know your lucks bound to run out
In the Hub City Shakedown
Hub City Shakedown
