Doublewide Blues

[Chorus]

Doublewide blues

I got the blues doublewide

[Verse 1]

V-neck t-shirt with a mustard stain

Rollin' 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

[Verse 2]

Metallica song blastin' from three trailers down

It's them cut-off t-shirt and numchuck kids comin' 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

[Chorus]

Doublewide blues

I got the blues doublewide

[Verse 3]

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 chasin' my neighbor's wife, Flo

Soap opera heaven, without all the clues

Doublewide blues

[Chorus]

Doublewide blues

I got the blues doublewide

[Verse 4]

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 hangin' up outside his door

I sit here watchin' all this nothin' go on

I don't get out much since O.J.'s been on

Sometimes it's nice havin' nothin' to lose

'Cept them doublewide blues

[Chorus]

Doublewide blues

I got the blues doublewide

Doublewide blues

I got the blues doublewide

[Outro]

Take me home, boys

Think I'm drunk

Yep
