It ain't about "talking to the little man in the boat" or Duane hitting a Peach Truck.

Alas, the real answer is not quite so literary. The title is an allusion to a statement Duane Allman once made during a magazine interview:
The myth was that the band used the title because Duane had crashed into a peach truck when he died; in truth, it came from one of Duane's throwaway lines in an interview. "How are you helping the revolution?" Ellen Mandel of Good Times Magazine had asked him. "I'm hitting a lick for peace," Duane responded. "And every time I'm in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace."
This explanation is supported by the album's back cover, which features a drawing of a railroad flatcar carrying an enormous watermelon, with the words "EAT A PEACH FOR PEACE" appearing along the top curve of the melon."
