Backsliders Wine 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
