I admit I have hearing issues from rock and roll, but he says his name is Conley.

Same as his daddy and his daddy before.

Am I wrong?

I don’t know why you would allege that when he clearly says John Lee.

Yep. Which makes him John Lee Pettimore III. I may have used this as an alias a time or 2.

Conley.

Does that even sound like a name Steve Earl would sing about?

Continental Trailways Blues actually mentions not only Lake Charles, but Sulphur. Random fact of the day is that Steve Earle lives in Sulphur for a year or two as a kid.

Then he cocked both his pistols and he spit in the dirt, and he walked out in the street.
