Salt River -

Today I killed my father with a shovel and a shotgun

Now there’s hot news on the wire ‘bout a madman on the run

From what I hear they’re punching out a new batch of badges

Can hear them sniffing in the dark while I’m flipping my matches

Salt River!

Oh yeah!

Saw my faces on a barrow, they were lacking the scars

My mama always told me: you ain’t making it far

Well here I am, cocking my .44

My ma ain’t gonna talk that shit no more

Well son, it’s been ten years down the road

And I can tell you: boy, I’m getting old

But let me tell you something I’ve been told

Never stop digging for that shining gold

And if you got no hand, you still don’t fold

And if you find some girl, you better hold

And if you’re at the crossroads, keep an eye on your soul

And always make your stand till you’re dead and cold

Salt River!

Oh yeah!
