We were camping in the desert Near some old mines For a week we walked around The deserted old shafts Thats 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 wasnt even twenty Black eyes, broken nose, teeth missing He wore a red flannel coat, but he wore no pants Dad said hed probably been dead the last couple days Cause there was no smell, and you could still see life Left in his face We drove into town We called the police And 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 Id never sleep Cause it could have been my dad and me They ended up calling The incident at Conklin Creek That they ended up calling The incident at Conklin Creek
