Carmichael lyrics

Artist  : Neil Young 
Song : Carmichael



 Send "Carmichael" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Silk scarf and a napkin

Hidden in a
drawer

Two hundred bucks in an envelope

Labeled lenore



"maybe she shouldn't
see this

She should never know,"

Said
the widow's best friend anne,

"i'll just
take it and go



I'll give her the
money later

Say it was in his shoe

That way she'll never find out...

That'll
do"



"carmichael was a credit to the
force

In everything he did

It's like
we got a big hole in our side 

Where he
fit



If any of you officers 

Would like to say a word

Now would be the
time

To be heard"



"thank you
chief, i sure would

He was a partner of
mine

He was always very careful

And
played it straight down the line"



One by one the officers spoke

And the
service drew to a close

He had no living
relatives

But his wife who never showed



She just couldn't face the men

They
all understood

They got in their cars and
drove home 

As directly as they could



"carmichael you asshole,"

The new
widow sobbed beneath her veil,

"shot down
in the line of duty

Is this how justice
never fails?



I wish that things were
better

When we said goodbye today

But
we had our share of good times though

Along
the way



Remember 

'hey mr. las
vegas

You used to be so cool!!'

We
met wayne newton down at pebble beach

And
you acted like a fool



But we both
just couldn't stop laughin'

It seemed so
funny to us

We left our luggage back in the
room and almost missed the bus



That
was a great vacation

Maybe the best of
all

But goddamnit carmichael you're dead
now

And i'm talkin' to the wall"



The force got back to normal

Carmichael
was replaced

For one year nobody parked a
car

In carmichael's space
