[05:47.21]"Grandpa here's your coffee,"
[05:50.90]Said edith as she filled his cup,
[05:56.18]"Nobody'll find you here
[06:00.52]And earl is glad you guys showed up
[06:05.23]The way things are downtown
[06:09.81]You might have to stay for a while
[06:14.79]There was a helicopter flyin' over your house
[06:18.43]When I talked to your neighbor kyle"
[06:23.74]"Who the hell do they think they are?
[06:28.19]Invading our home like that
[06:32.74]Grandma and I had to leave so fast
[06:36.73]We couldn't even catch the cat
[06:41.51]The helicopter scared the **** out of it
[06:46.04]And it took off down the trail
[06:51.26]Cross the railroad track
[06:52.99]Towards the county jail"
[07:52.80]"Jed you really screwed up now
[07:57.35]What'd you have to do that for?
[08:01.51]Everybody wants to hang your ass
[08:05.95]Here's a note from lenore"
[08:09.92]Some touched the cold steel bars
[08:13.98]As she pushed the leter in
[08:18.88]Jed took it up and read it
[08:22.64]And couldn't hide a grin
[08:27.57]Outside the jail window
[08:32.10]A crow flew across the sky
[08:36.49]Completely disappearing behind each bar
[08:40.70]Then a helicopter flew by
[08:44.94]"Say hi to earl and edith
[08:49.43]Tell'em I'm doin' fine
[08:53.91]Tell'em you're ready to leave home now
[08:57.89]And they had cut the line
[09:02.57]Can grandma come and see me?
[09:07.05]I've got a new song to sing
[09:11.63]It's longer than all the others combined
[09:15.05]And doesn't mean a thing"
[10:13.08]The noise was unfamiliar...
[10:17.42]A walkie talkie squealed
[10:21.44]Generators were runnin'
[10:25.67]Vans parked in the field
[10:30.41]Tv crews and cameras
[10:34.78]They wanted to interview grandpa on the porch
[10:39.27]They came through the gate and up on the lawn
[10:43.34]Knockin' down edith's tiki torch
[10:47.87]Grandpa saw them there
[10:51.84]Looking through the venetian blind
[10:56.47]"Those people don't have any respect
[11:00.35]So they won't get any of mine
[11:05.28]I ain't gonna talk about jed...
[11:09.42]I don't watch channel 2 or 6 or 9
[11:14.20]I don't have time to talk that fast
[11:17.97]And it ain't my crime
[11:22.81]It ain't an honour to be on tv
[11:26.99]And it ain't a duty either
[11:31.12]The only good thing about tv
[11:33.99]Is shows like 'leave it to beaver'
[11:39.42]Shows with love and affection
[11:44.16]Like mama used to say
[11:48.69]A little mayberry livin'
[11:51.21]Can go a long way"
[11:56.85]He took earl's gun from the closet
[12:01.18]And loaded up both barrels
[12:05.60]Went out on the porch and fired them off
[12:09.63]And up walked a woman named carol
[12:14.11]"Susan carol from early magazine
[12:18.08]I've got some questions to ask"
[12:23.01]"Well you can stick 'em where the sun don't shine,"
[12:26.68]Grandpa said with a gasp
[12:30.66]Then he fell face first and let out a sigh
[12:36.44]Edith came out in shock
[12:40.58]Grandpa was whispering to her from down on the floor
[12:44.90]He looked like he was tryin' to talk
[12:49.27]"That guy who just keeps singin'
[12:53.45]Can't somebody shut him up?
[12:57.79]I don't know for the life of me
[13:00.00]Where he comes up with this stuff"
[13:41.78]They laid his head on a newspaper
[13:45.75]With a picture of carmichael on the front page
[13:49.89]Posing with a little league baseball team
[13:54.01]And a seedy shot of jed with a motorcycle.
[13:58.70]Grandpa died like a hero
[14:02.73]Fightin' for freedom of silence
[14:07.01]Tryin' to stop the media
[14:11.34]Tryin' to be anonymous
[15:09.48]Share your lovin' and you'll live so long
[15:14.06]Share your lovin' and you'll live so long
[15:18.50]Share your lovin' and you'll live so long
[15:22.73]Live so long
