Carmichael
Neil Young & Crazy Horse

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
