Dead Man's Pockets

from Bastard Children by Vudu Sister

/

lyrics

Side of the road came with him
He was covered in blood-dried sand
Never knew who he was or where he was from
I was checking the dead man's pockets
Checking the dead man's brains
Witchita is where the law's been calling my name


Somebody out there gone hidden
With the blood on his hands still stained
He covered his tracks and stole what was left
Inside of the dead man's pockets
He stole all of the dead man's change
Indiana, Indiana gonna ride that train

I started to go back yonder
On nothing but a deviled egg
Lit a match in the rain to find what was left
Inside of the dead man's pockets
Colorado, I'm going home

Under a sign, he's buried
Beneath the dirt of the byway sand
Never knew who he was or where he was from
Witchita is where the law's been calling my name
