Leave The Driving

[Verse] Out on the old coast highway Flying through the night Jed got stopped by the CHP For speeding and no brake lights Rolled down the drivers window Slipped his gun down under the seat Glove box full of cocaine Trunk was full of weed Driver's license and registration Said the officer with his flashlight Searching around the floor of the car Smelling like something ain't right Jed's life flashed before him Like a black and white super 8 He heard the sound of the future On a scratchy old 78 Nothing was still, all was moving When the flashlight found the gun Then jed pulled the trigger In a split second tragic blunder Makes you think about living And what life has to tell Said jed to grandpa From inside his cell Camouflage hung in his closet Guns all over the wall Plans for buildings and engineers And a book with no numbers at all The whole town was stunned They closed the coast highway for 12 hours No one could believe it Jed was one of ours Meanwhile across the ocean Living in the internet Is the cause of an explosion No one has heard yet But there's no need to worry There's no reason to fuss Just go on about your work now And leave the driving to us And we'll be watching you No matter what you do And you can do your part By watching others too Grandpa put down the paper Staring in disbelief Jed had always been good to him And never gave him any grief "the moral of this story Is try not to get too old The more time you spend on earth The more you see unfold [Outro] And as an afterthought This must to be told Some people have taken pure bullshit And turned it into gold
