1
"Grandpa here's your coffee,"
2
Said edith as she filled his cup
3
"Nobody'll find you here
4
And earl is glad you guys showed up
5
The way things are downtown
6
You might have to stay for a while
7
There was a helicopter flyin' over your house
8
When I talked to your neighbor kyle"
9
"Who the hell do they think they are?
10
Invading our home like that
11
Grandma and I had to leave so fast
12
We couldn't even catch the cat
13
The helicopter scared the shit out of it
14
And it took off down the trail
15
Down past the railroad track
16
Towards the county jail"
17
"Jed you really screwed up now
18
What'd you have to do that for?
19
Everybody wants to hang your ass
20
Here's a note from lenore"
21
She touched the cold steel bars
22
As she pushed the paper in
23
Jed took it up and read it
24
And couldn't hide a grin
25
Outside the jail window
26
A crow flew across the sky
27
Completely disappearing behind each bar
28
Then a helicopter flew by
29
"Say hi to earl and edith
30
Tell'em I'm doin' fine
31
Tell'em you're ready to leave home now
32
And they should cut the line
33
Can grandma come and see me?
34
I've got a new song to sing
35
It's longer than all the others combined
36
And doesn't mean a thing"
37
The noise was unfamiliar
38
A walkie talkie squealed
39
Generators were runnin'
40
Vans parked in the field
41
Tv crews and cameras
42
They wanted to interview grandpa on the porch
43
They came through the gate and up on the lawn
44
Knockin' down edith's tiki torch
45
Grandpa saw them there
46
Looking through the venetian blind
47
"Those people don't have any respect
48
So they won't get any of mine
49
I ain't gonna talk about jed
50
I don't watch channel 2 or 6 or 9
51
I don't have time to talk that fast
52
And it ain't my crime
53
It ain't an honour to be on tv
54
And it ain't a duty either
55
The only good thing about tv
56
Is shows like 'leave it to beaver'
57
Shows with love and affection
58
Like mama used to say
59
A little mayberry livin'
60
Can go a long way"
61
He took earl's gun from the closet
62
And loaded up both barrels
63
Went out on the porch and fired them off
64
And up walked a woman named carol
65
"Susan carol from early magazine
66
I've got some questions to ask"
67
"Well you can stick 'em where the sun don't shine,"
68
Grandpa said with a gasp
69
Then he fell face first and let out a sigh
70
Edith came out in shock
71
Grandpa was whispering to her from down on the floor
72
He looked like he was tryin' to talk
73
"That guy who just keeps singin'
74
Can't somebody shut him up?
75
I don't know for the life of me
76
Where he comes up with this stuff"
77
They laid his head on a newspaper
78
With a picture of carmichael on the front page
79
Posing with a little league baseball team
80
And a seedy shot of jed with a motorcycle
81
Grandpa died like a hero
82
Fightin' for freedom of silence
83
Tryin' to stop the media
84
Tryin' to be anonymous
85
Share your lovin' and you'll live so long
86
Share your lovin' and you'll live so long
87
Share your lovin' and you'll live so long
88
Live so long
