Michael Martin Murphey - Backslider's Wine lyrics

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 Son, don't take that black eyed shine Fight for your rights But, just don't fight for right It will escape the purest mind But I took myself for a strong and loving soul 'Til I found myself on the bar room floor Crying God what will they do with me I cannot drink Backslider's wine no more My momma sings out in my memory Oh Son, don't take that black eyed shine Fight for your rights But, just don't fight for right And do not drink Backslider's wine Do not drink... Backslider's wine....
