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
