The Story of the Ballad of the Devil's Backbone Tavern (Live) - Todd Snider

Give me some more wine my friend 'cause I can't be sober today Cos I need some wine to drown my sorrow this world is all in vain Come and sit by my side listen to the tale I have We can be merry, we can be crazy, not face reality Days have long passed me by faces seem haunting to me People I loved, people I lost now seem to let me be Where is my home that I seek it used to be there in your heart Now it's gone, no longer a bloom and I am left without There is no pity here only jokes remain Oh sweet numbness won't you come and keep me safe and warm And I know I lost it all Still you place your faith in me After all I have is gone Still you stand in victory So go home my brave little man go find your feet once again Will you be strong, will you be kind, do you deserve it all And I know I lost it all Still you place your faith in me After all I have is gone Still you stand in victory

Doublewide Blues I got the Blues Doublewide V neck t-shirt with a mustard stain Rollin' up a hose, outside in the rain He's been my neighbor since 'bout seventy-nine 'Course he was in prison most of that time Ever since then he just ain't been right His old lady works days and they fight most night Laid off and blown off, pissed off on booze Doublewide Blues Metallica song, blasting from three trailers down It's them cut off t-shirt and numbchuck kids comin' around Tonight they'll get drunk, try to get laid End up in a fight, out behind some arcade You know one a them little shits, broke my window last spring I told his Mama and she didn't do anything She works two jobs, the boy runs loose Doublewide Blues Doublewide Blues I got the Blues Doublewide My buddy Jimmy, his trailers cool He got him a deck, with one of them, blue plastic pools He works in construction, builds speck homes His woman left him now, so, now he's down there, alone My friend Anita, she loves him, he don't know He's too busy chasing my neighbors wife Flo Soap opera Heaven, without all the clues Doublewide Blues Doublewide Blues I got the Blues Doublewide Wild Bill, the manager, he keeps to himself The war took his smile, like 'em pills took his health He is too old to run around with the Klan anymore Still got a Confiderate flag hangin up outside his door I sit here watchin' all this nothin' go on I don't get out much since O Jay's been on Sometimes it's nice havin' nothin' to lose Sometimes Doublewide Blues Doublewide Blues I got the Blues Doublewide Doublewide Blues I got the Blues Doublewide Take me home, boys, think I'm drunk
