Doublewide Blues

(앨범: Viva Satellite - 1998)

Doublewide blues
I got the blues doublewide

V-neck t-shirt with a mustard stain
Rolling up a hose outside in the rain
He's been my neighbor since 'bout '79
'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 nights
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 nunchuck kids coming around
Tonight they'll get drunk, try to get laid
End up in a fight out behind some arcade
You know one of them little shits broke my window last spring?
I told his Momma, 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 trailer's cool
He got him a deck with one of them blue plastic pools
He works in construction, builds spec homes
His woman left him though, so now he's down there alone
My friend Anita loves him, he don't know
So busy chasing my neighbor's 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 them pills took his health
He's too old to run around with the Klan anymore
Still got a Confederate flag hanging up outside his door
I sit here watching all this nothing go on
I don't get out much since O.J.'s been on
Sometimes it's nice having nothing to lose
'Cept them doublewide blues

Doublewide blues
I got the blues doublewide
Doublewide blues
I got the blues doublewide

Take me home, boys
Think I'm drunk
Yep
