Leave The Driving

F          C         D5       F
Out on the old coast highway, 
      C           D5
flying through the night,
F       C              D5       
Jed got stopped by the CHP, for 
F            C        D5
speedin' and no brake lights.

[Verse 2]
F               C        D5      
Rolled down the driver's window; 
F           C        D5
slipped his gun down under his seat.
    F             C       D5     
The glove-box was full of 
      F         C       D5
cocaine; the trunk was full of weed.
F                     C    D5   
"Driver's license and 
              F            C      
registration," said the officer 
  D5
with his flashlight.
F                    C            
Searchin' around the floor of the 
D5   F             C             
car; smellin' like something 
  D5
ain't right.

[Verse 3]
F          C         D5         
Jed's life flashed before him, 
      F               C     D5
like a black and white super-8.
   F         C            D5     
He heard the sound of the future,
      F            C       D5
 on a scratchy old seventy-eight.
F          C               D5   
Nothing was still, all was 
            F          C         
moving, when the flashlight found 
D5
the gun.
F        C          D5           
Then Jed pulled the trigger, in a
 F            C      D5
 split-second tragic blunder.

[Verse 4]
F             C           D5     
"It makes you think about living,
 F         C      D5
 what life has to tell,"
F    C      D5      F       C 
Said Jed to Grandpa, from 
       D5
inside his cell.
F          C           D5      
Camouflage hung in his closet. 
F        C        D5
Guns all over the wall.
F          C            D5      
Plans for buildings and 
         F            C     
engineers, and a book with no 
     D5
numbers at all.
F          C       D5            
The whole town was stunned; they 
F                C           D5
closed the Coast Highway for 12 
hours.
F    C           D5        F    
  No one could believe it; Jed 
   C      D5
was one of ours.

[Verse 5]
F          C         D5     F  
Meanwhile across the ocean, 
           C    D5
living in the Internet,
       F        C     D5     F  
Is the cause of an explosion no 
    C         D5
one has heard yet.

[Verse 6]
F          C         D5   
But there's no need to worry. 
            F               C     D5
There's no reason to fuss.
F          C         D5         
Just go on about your work now. 
      F               C     D5
And leave the drivin' to us.
F          C         D5    
And we'll be watching you, and 
           F               C     D5
everything you do.
F          C         D5  
And you can do your part, by 
             F               C     
watchin' others too.

[Verse 7]
F          C         D5         
Grandpa put down the 
      F               C     D5
paper,staring in disbelief.
F          C         D5         
Jed had always been good to him;
      F               C     D5
 never gave him any grief.

[Verse 8]
F          C         D5         
The moral of this story is try 
      F               C     D5
not to get too old.
F          C         D5         
The more time you spend on 
      F               C     D5
earth, the more you see unfold.
F          C         D5         
And as an afterthought, this 
      F               C     D5
must, too, be told,
F          C         D5 
Some people have taken pure 
              F               C   
bullshit, and turned it into gold.
