Deadfall Lyrics by James Lynn Strait

Deadfall Lyrics

    Well, i killed my dad in a con gone bad
    Nearly drank myself to death
    But when he died he said lou had the cake
    So i caught a bus headin' west


    I saw the numbers running through a small cafe
    And i knew i'd find my uncle lou
    That's when ed stepped up
    He said pick a card
    Shape the con before it shapes you


    Who sent ya'?
    Sam fuckin' peckinpah
    Yeah who sent ya'?


    Who sent ya'?
    Who sent ya'?
    Sam fuckin' peckinpah
    Yeah who sent ya'?


    Now i met my uncle for the very first time
    And he sent me on a con with ed
    So we came callin' on his girl dianne
    A blonde grifter dressed in red
    I guess pigeon dropping was the name of the game
    And i had to pay my dues
    Well, fun time, family fun was the plan
    Shape the con before it shapes you


    Who sent ya'?
    Sam fuckin' peckinpah
    Yeah who sent ya'?


    Who sent ya' baby girl?
    Sam fuckin' peckinpah
    Yeah who sent ya'?


    Sam peckinpah tried to choke eddie out
    But he cut him from ear to ear
    Then he grabbed old lou and screamed
    "we fuck now"
    On his face a twisted jeer
    He took old lou to the same cafe'
    Eddie couldn't have been much higher when he tied him up
    It was his intent to put his head in that deep fryer
    Well, dianne told me and i tackled ed
    As we did a little wiggle and dance
    When we were done ed got a hot head


    Well viva la fuckin' france man!


    Someone tryin' to kill me man?
    (they're trying to kill you eddie)
    Who sent you?
    Sam fuckin' peckinpah
    Yeah who sent ya'?
    Who sent ya' baby girl?
    Sam fuckin' peckinpah
    Yeah who sent ya'?
