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
