[00:00.00] Wood Chipper - John Hiatt
[00:18.60] I'm from the Midwest
[00:20.00] I know enough to cut a path
[00:21.91] Around a wood chipper
[00:24.97] And be careful
[00:25.75] Of any conversation
[00:27.88] A man starts by callin' you skipper
[00:31.18] 'Cause there ain't no ocean 'round here
[00:35.04] Though a lotta little lakes where you could disappear
[00:38.68] I wonder what the fish are bitin' on today Jimmy
[00:44.83] She told me not
[00:46.22] To follow her down here
[00:47.81] Said he was crazy about her
[00:51.33] I guess I didn't know
[00:52.73] What that meant
[00:53.83] Just knew I couldn't do without her
[00:57.64] Then I seen 'em through the window sash
[01:01.19] He had a Forty four pistol and a bag of cash
[01:04.84] And she was foldin' some kinda pretty note
[01:06.90] Paper into her breast pocket
[01:10.56] What some people won't do to break up a happy home
[01:17.18] What some people won't do to break up a happy home
[01:24.15] Well I got the picture
[01:26.01] A temporary love shack
[01:27.30] In the middle of no place
[01:30.83] They were plannin'
[01:31.86] On usin' that cash
[01:33.98] To get away bold- faced
[01:37.27] Now how long did they think they could stay
[01:40.68] The troopers and the Marshall's surely on their way
[01:44.21] I ran through the yard and I banged my
[01:46.85] Knee on his wood chipper
[01:50.47] I was screamin' like a baby
[01:52.10] She appeared at the window
[01:53.41] He opened the door
[01:57.00] And when I looked up
[01:58.39] He said "Skipper
[02:00.29] What're you doin' here for"
[02:03.63] One bullet to the head
[02:06.91] Before I hit the ground I was dead
[02:10.13] I guess I'm tellin' you this before
[02:12.24] You go fishin' now Jimmy
[02:16.46] What some people won't do break up a happy home
[02:22.99] What some people won't do break up a happy home
[02:29.59] What some people won't do to break up a happy home
[02:36.11] What some people won't do to break up a happy home
[02:56.48] Never found my body
[02:57.75] But they killed 'em in a shoot out
[02:59.92] Five miles down the road
[03:02.39] They found that note paper
[03:03.81] In her breast pocket
[03:05.58] Thought it was somethin' written in code
[03:08.92] But it was part of a letter set
[03:12.83] I'd got her for Christmas ten years ago I'd bet
[03:16.31] She used to just use the paper for her grocery list
[03:20.90] (And it read)
[03:23.40] Eggs
[03:26.34] Hamburger meat
[03:29.31] Bread
[03:31.72] Funyuns
[03:35.18] Orange drink
[03:37.05] Toilet paper
[03:38.47] Tidy Bowl
[03:42.15] Pickles
[03:43.94] Little Debbie Snack Cakes
[03:48.52] What some people won't do break up a happy home
[03:55.14] What some people won't do
[03:57.36] To break up a happy home
[04:01.68] What some people won't do
[04:03.88] To break up a happy home
[04:08.14] What some people won't do break up a happy home
