[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
