Incident at Conklin Creek Lyrics
We were camping in the desert
Near some old mines
For a week we walked around
The deserted old shafts:
That’s when we found the body
It was covered in dirt and gravel
The only thing showing were the feet:
One shoe on, the other just a worn out sock
My dad uncovered him, said the boy wasn’t even twenty
Black eyes, broken nose, teeth missing
He wore a red flannel coat, but he wore no pants
Dad said he’d probably been dead the last couple days
Cos there was no smell, and you could still see life
Life in his face
We drove into town
We called the police
We watched them, as they took the body away

We stayed the night
In a roadside motel
Dad had a bottle of old crow and he finished it
As he lay passed out, I knew I’d never sleep
Cos it could have been my dad or me
They ended up calling
“The incident at Conklin Creek”
