LYRICS to Peckerwood Slim

Butte County Jail in ‘98 is where I met the man
He didn’t have no teeth, I could barely understand
 
I'm tryin’ to tell you son, how it is I had my fun
 
He told me about a bank he robbed in '75
He had a wife and kid, just trying to survive
 
I'm tryin’ to tell you son, why I done the things that I done
 
He used tell me all the time
That all them sons a bitches lie
You fall, you lose your place in line
 
He played the game, but he never did win
And he said his name, was Peckerwood Slim

He was selling weed in Bedrock Park in ’83
Busted by The Man, sent him to the penitentiary
 
I'm tryin’ to tell you son, why I done the time I done
 
They stabbed 14 times in Folsom with a shiv
Decided right then and there about the way he’s gonna live
 
I'm tryin’ to tell you son, why it is I tote a gun
 
He used tell me all the time
That all them sons a bitches lie
You fall, you lose your place in line
 
He played the game, but he never did win
And he said his name, was Peckerwood Slim
 
I seen a footnote in the paper the other day
Down by the tracks, it said a hobo’d passed away
 
I'm tryin’ to tell you son, that the battle's never won
 
His head blown off, a thirty ought six by his side
It seems that Old Man Slim has taken his final ride
 
I'm tryin’ to tell you son, why it is I ate my gun
