There’s actually a song called Deadfall based on this movie. It’s from the metal/hardcore punk band Snot on their album Get Some. I actually heard this song back in high school, but never knew what it was about until I saw clips of Nicolas Cage’s crazy performance on youtube and eventually watched the movie.
The song essentially tells the plot of the entire movie. The vocals are kind of hard to understand, so I’ll post the lyrics below.

Well, I killed my dad
In a con gone bad
Nearly drank myself to death
But when he died he said Lou had the cake
So I caught a bus headin' West
I saw the numbers running through a small cafe
And I knew I'd find my uncle Lou
That's when Ed stepped up
He said pick a card
Shape the con before it shapes you
Who sent ya'?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?
Who sent ya'?
Who sent ya'?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya’?
Now I met my uncle for the very first time
And he sent me on a con with Ed
So we came callin' on his girl Diane
A blonde girl dressed in red
I guess pigeon dropping was the name of the game
And I had to pay my dues
Well fun time
Family fun was the plan
Shape the con before it shapes you
Who sent ya'?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?
Who sent ya' baby girl?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya’?
Sam Peckinpah tried to choke Eddie out
But he cut him from ear to ear
Then he grabbed old Lou said
"We fuck now"
On his face a twisted jeer
He took old Lou to the same cafe'
Eddie couldn't have been much higher
When he tied him up
It was his intent
To put his head in that deep fryer
Well, Diane told me
I tackled Ed
As we did a little wiggle and dance
When we were done Ed got a hot head
Well viva la fuckin' France man!
Someone tryin' to kill me man?
(Who would try to kill you Eddie)
The fucking hangers!
Someone tryin' to kill me man?
(Who would try to kill you Eddie)
The fucking hangers!
Guess they may be friends
(All fuckin' summer long sugar)
Who sent you?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?
Who sent ya' baby girl?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya’?
You shape the con or It'll shape you
You shape the con
You shape the con or It'll shape you
You shape the con
Hi-fucking-ya!
