Backsliders Wine lyrics
Song information
Artist: Jerry Jeff Walker Album: Great Gonzos
Lyrics
Michael martin murphy
As the rain ruins my alibi I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind It's not the sun bright path That called me from my home It's just that fine backslider's wine
Chorus: My momma sings out in my memory Son, don't take that black eyed shine Fight for your rights But, son don't fight for right And do not drink backslider's wine
But I took myself for a kind and loving soul 'Til I found my face, face down on the bar room floor I was crying jesus what have they done to me I cannot drink backslider's wine no more
Chorus
As the rain ruins my alibi I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind It's not the sun bright path That called me from my home It's just that fine backslider's wine
