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
