Lyrics:
Loves the backslider
Loves the backslider
Loves the backslider
Loves the backslider
Loves the backslider
Loves the backslider
A click, a turn,
Slippin' and a slidin' and a payin' the price
Finding that I'm lost instead of found
Lifting myself up off of the ground
Up off of the ground
Backslider
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
Backslider's wine
My momma sings out in my memory
Son, don't takethat black eyed shine
Fight for your rights But, son don't fight for right
The right
play the martyr
Let you step outside the past
Should've listened better before you made it come true
Now your only choice; one bullet or two
Backslider
backsliders, we were sliding back, we were backsliders
Once you have fallen, there’s no changing track, I am no fighter
If you ever had an inkling, baby
All
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
Backslider, you need to come home
My Jesus is waiting with open arms
I've got love for my brothers who've fallen away
The preachers are preaching
to
All I've got to offer you is this
Backslider's prayer
Well the waitress made the first move
When she filled his coffee cup
She said "You ain't
the choir.
There've been forks in the road when I've had to choose...
I pray He'll forgive me for singing the backslider blues.
Chorus
- Yeah
Backslider
Backslider
Backslider
Watch your tongue
You don't know me
You keep lying, you keep lying
You don't know me
Watch your tongue watch your
backsliders, this train
This train don't carry no backsliders, this train
This train it don't carry no backsliders this train only carrry JAH JAH children
This
this girl this girl this girl
And I'd be the happiest backslider in the world
If you would tell her it's your will for us to be together
Father
said
Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down
You
and dignity
All that time
In the dark
Just one word
Backslider!
I remember the day I stepped
Into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
And pushed
Thoughts moving through my head at the speed of sound
I pray my prayers make it through the clouds
I pray in heaven that them backsliders ain't allowed
c
to hold?
Rebel
Backslider
Reach higher
You give them hell
You give them
Hell this ain't no warning
You give'em hell because you must
It's a long
a backslider every single day
Backsliding like a chain
You're just a capturer on a lonely chase
Backslide into your grave
My babe
Guess he could stand a little
guess
Backsliders gonna backslide
Sometimes it feels like we're the only two people in this damn town
Like everybody else and everything is just
You can call me backslider
But you don't know my pain
I once was called faithful
On the inside lookin' out
Now I'm just bein' real
On the outside
grow stronger day by day
I'm no backslider, you should see me work, and when I do I'll finally get my pay
I've got the momentum, and the speed, wouldn't
acknowledge your guilt
Backslider, won't you just come home
Come home like a wayward wife, his love is essential, he knows what you've been through
Don't you
Honey I'm the great backslider
Say I won't but I do
And I would slide right off in the night
If not for the sake of loving you
Seven nights a week
He said
Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblin' ramblin' backslider
Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em
