Backsliders Wine
As the rain ruins my alibi
I'm down to tellin' you my red-eyed mind
It's not that sun bright path
That called me from my home
It's just that fine Backslider's wine
My momma sings out in my memory
Oh Son, don't wear that black eyed shine
Fight for your rights
But, don't just fight for right
And do not drink Backslider's wine
But I took myself for a strong and loving soul
'Til I found my self, face down on the bar room floor
I was crying my god what have they done to me
I cannot drink Backslider's wine no more
My momma sings out in my memory
Oh Son, don't wear that black eyed shine
Fight for your rights
But, don't just fight for right
And do not drink Backslider's wine
