Doublewide Blues Lyrics - Singles - Todd Snider

Double wide blues 

I got the blues, double wide 

V-neck t-shirt, with a mustard stain 

Rollin' up a hose, outside in the rain 

He's been my neighbor since seventy-nine 

'Course he was in prison most of that time 

Ever since then he just aint been right 

his old lady works days and they fight most nights 

Laid off and blown off, pissed off on booze 

Double wide blues 

Metallica song blastin' out from two trailers down 

Its them cut of t-shirt numb chuck kids comin' around 

Tonight they'll get drunk, try to get laid 

End up in a fight out behind the arcade 

You know one of them little shits broke my window last spring 

I told his momma she didn't do anything 

She works two jobs, he runs loose 

Double wide blues 

Double wide blues 

I got the blues, double wide 

My buddy Jimmy, now his trailers cool 

He got him a deck with one of them blue plastic pools 

Workin construction, he builds speck homes 

His old lady left him, now he's down there alone 

My friend Anita, she loves him, but he don't know 

He's so busy chasin' my neighbor's wife, Flo 

Soap opera heaven without all the clues 

Double wide blues 

Double wide blues 

I got the blues, double wide 

Wild Bill the manager he keeps to himself 

The war took his smile like them pills took his health 

Too old to run with the Klan anymore 

US Flag hangin' outside his door 

I sit here watchin' all this nothin' go on 

I don't get out much now since momma's been gone 

Sometimes its nice, havin' nothin' to lose 

Double wide blues 

Double wide blues 

I got the blues, double wide 

Take me home boys 

I think I'm drunk
