    Wood Chipper

    by: John Hiatt

    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
