wood chipper

Lyrics

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, 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
