Wood Chipper |
| Well, I’m from the Midwest |
| I know enough to cut a path |
| Around a wood chipper |
| And be careful |
| Of any conversation |
| A man starts by callin' you skipper |
| 'Cause there ain’t no ocean 'round here |
| Though a lotta little lakes where you could disappear |
| I wonder what the fish are bitin' on today, Jimmy |
| She told me not |
| To follow her down here |
| Said he was crazy about her |
| I guess I didn’t know |
| What that meant |
| Just knew I couldn’t do without her |
| Then I seen 'em through the window sash |
| He had a Forty four pistol and a bag of cash |
| And she was foldin' some kinda pretty note paper into her breast pocket |
| What some people won’t do, to break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, to break up a happy home |
| Well, I got the picture |
| A temporary love shack |
| In the middle of no place |
| They were plannin' |
| On usin' that cash |
| To get away bold-faced |
| Now how long did they think they could stay |
| The troopers and the Marshall’s surely on their way |
| I ran through the yard and I banged my knee on his wood chipper |
| I was screamin' like a baby |
| She appeared at the window |
| He opened the door |
| And when I looked up |
| He said «Skipper |
| What’re you doin' here for» |
| One bullet to the head |
| Before I hit the ground I was dead |
| I guess I’m tellin' you this before you go fishin' now, Jimmy |
| What some people won’t do, break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, to break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, to break up a happy home |
| Never found my body |
| But they killed 'em in a shoot out |
| Five miles down the road |
| They found that note paper |
| In her breast pocket |
| Thought it was somethin' written in code |
| But it was part of a letter set |
| I’d got her for Christmas ten years ago I’d bet |
| She used to just use the paper for her grocery list |
| (And it read) |
| Eggs |
| Hamburger meat |
| Bread |
| Funyuns |
| Orange drink |
| Toilet paper |
| Tidy Bowl |
| Pickles |
| Little Debbie Snack Cakes |
| What some people won’t do, break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, to break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, to break up a happy home |
| What some people won’t do, break up a happy home |
