Lyrics
Any of you guys have one of those friends whos an instigator? You know the kind: Always makin shit happen.
Ive got a friend like that. Her names Colleen. She came over the other day and
She said Lets get outta town!
A ride in the mountains sure sounds good to me
Sauna sweatin, 8 ball shootin
Mountain shadows and pleasant company
Gold Hill, in the evenin, shinin
A Lovely night for a murder mystery
Leanin on the porch rail
Rumors of a busted jail-bird man
Two folks killed just down the road
Climb the hill, now, and make another plan
Porch swing rockin, window peepin
Leather creakin, cocktail in your hand
Stars above and bars below
Nerves of steel are rustin, bout to break
Road blocks on the back streets
Pools of darkness, hands begin to shake
When you see it all through a killers eyes
All the people you despise
Slippin on your new disguise and
Rollin down that Left Hand Canyon trail
It leads straight to Hell
Now, if you were a killer runnin from the law and lookin for a place to hide out for a day or two, a nice dark cabin on a hillside above a small mountain town might just be the perfect spot, dont ya think?
And here we are: Drinkin Myers and Cokes while sittin on the porch swing of just such a place, and it kind of makes you think if only for a minute that you could be an extra in a slasher flick. You know: the guy who goes off alone to get another can of Coke.
Or, maybe shes the extra and she gets slashed when you go off to get the other can of Coke.
It makes ya think
Show down in a parking lot
Flowin blood and bullets paint the scene
They say hes been taken down
One less scum-bag killer runnin free
An open road for us to ride
Lady Luck was on our side, it seems
Early mornin, homeward bound
Still alive and a little bit wiser
Four folks laid out on a slab
Two more: on the mend but scarred for life
And at the door we kissed goodnight
I know well never forget the night of
The Left Hand Canyon killer
Ah yeah, the Left Hand Canyon killer
Michael Bell
The Left Hand Canyon killer
You can go straight to Hell
The Left Hand Canyon killer
