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 Songtexte 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
