Todd Snider - Doublewide Blues Lyrics






Doublewide blues
I got the blues doublewide

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

Metallica song blastin' from three trailers down
It's them cut-off t-shirt and nunchuck 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

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 chasin' 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 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

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

Take me home, boys
Think I'm drunk
Yep

    right wing republican conservative christian straight white American male are all bad things. hmmm. and that's funny.... its cool to be a lefty, they teach you and tell you who to hate, and they do it with artistic style. you don't even have to think to be a lefty, which is great when you're stoned. they've learned since the bolsheviks ( which literally just means majority in russian) but they're still telling you who to hate...

  6. G.... ....

  7. O.... P....

    It's Both Dangerous and Glorious living your life to ICONIC songs. Went down THAT road less traveled decades ago. The BEST songs? The ones that when you hear them Stir you heart and soul . You'll know that magic when you lock eyes with the pretty stranger whose sweeping gaze stops you both in your tracks.

  29. M.... K....

    One of the best singers in his class.  And funny as hell!

    M.... K....

    +Milo Kramer a real burnout. That's what we're called here. Love his stuff!

  30. R.... H....

    He shares his opinion. Not because he thinks he's right. But because it rhymes. He isn't trying to change your mind. He is easing his own mind. 

    R.... H....

    And it works everytime

  31. S.... M....

    I'm a conservative Christian and I think that song is hilarious haha

    S.... M....

    @anon ymous Well, well my friend.......it's always refreshing to see tolerant, progressive ideas on display.  Because of course, only Conservatives judge people and call them names. 

    S.... M....

    +Scott Mi 3oeiei

    S.... M....

    so much for the olive branch

    S.... M....

    Sean: So you'll be laughing loud when Trump's CC's haul me off to the camps?

    S.... M....

    Nobody gives a fuck if fairy-tale worshippers approve

  32. j.... ....

    If you don't like conservative christian, you're one of the conservative d-bags he's talking about! Get a sense of humor and stop being so offended by everything!

    j.... ....

    OK OK BUT QUIT CALLIN ME A D BAG

    j.... ....

    @GERT FROEBE lol @ Gert

  33. d.... ....

    "Hippy" is a state of mind. Conservative or Democrat has NOTHING to do with loving FREEDOM. I'm a white, conservative hippy... is that okay?

  34. a.... S....

    I really enjoyed this music until he started with the political crap blaming conservatives for everything. Bummer..that is okay I have a right to turn off what I don't like hearing and that song was crap.

  35. T.... L....

    Great, funny, laid back, wonderfully raspy voice! Entertaining! Loved it...Wish I could see him live!

  36. c.... a....

    My all time favorite singer!

  37. D.... F....

    Conservative Christian is great!

  38. T.... ....

    @nnels54 boo hoo, he doesn't agree with your political views. Grow up.

  39. N.... N....

    good till the political crap. Todd you are quite talented, but I guess you won't hang with the Waylon crowd.

    N.... N....

    THEY'RE ALL DEAD ANYWAYS

    N.... N....

    haha. keeping up with Willie?

    N.... N....

    Straight white Republican here and this song doesn't bother me a bit it's a good song.
