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 My momma sings out in my memory Oh Son, don't wear no 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 myself face down on the bar room floor Crying "My God, what has become of me I dare not drink Backslider's wine no more Instrumental Chorus Repeat 1st Verse
