[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
