Richmond Fontaine Incident At Conklin Creek
We were camping in the desert near some old mines
For a week we walked around the deserted old shafts
That's when we saw the body
It was covered in dirt and gravel
The only thing showing were the feet
One shoe on and the other just a worn out sock
My dad uncovered him and said the boy wasn't even 20
Black eyes, broken nose, and teeth missing
He wore a red flannel coat but he wore no pants and
dad said he'd probably only been dead the last couple days
'Cause there was no smell and you could still see life, life in his face
We drove into town and we called the police and watched them
as they took the body away
We stayed the night in a road side motel
Dad had a bottle of old crow and he finished it
As he lay passed out on the bed i knew I'd never sleep
'cause it could have been my dad or me
What they ended up calling
the incident and Conklin Creek
