James Lynn Strait Deadfall Lyrics

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 f**kin` Peckinpah 
Yeah who sent ya`? 
Who sent ya`? 
Who sent ya`? 
Sam f**kin` 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 f**kin` Peckinpah 
Yeah who sent ya`? 
Who sent ya` baby girl? 
Sam f**kin` 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 f**k 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 F**KIN` FRANCE MAN! 
Someone tryin` to kill me man? 
(They`re trying to kill you Eddie) 
Who sent you? 
Sam f**kin` Peckinpah 
Yeah who sent ya`? 
Who sent ya` baby girl? 
Sam f**kin` Peckinpah 
Yeah who sent ya`?
