Leave the Driving
Lyricist:Neil Young
Out on the old coast highway Flyin' through the night Jed got stopped by the CHP For speedin' 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 Searchin' around the floor of the car Smellin' like somethin' 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
Nothin' was still, all was movin' When the flashlight found the gun Then Jed pulled the trigger In a split second tragic blunder
'Makes you think about livin' 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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
And as an afterthought This must to be told Some people have taken pure bullshit And turned it into gold
