Deadfall Lyrics - Singles - James Lynn Strait

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'?
