lyrics

Well, there's backslider's whisky and there's backslider's wine
It's the devil's own choice, when you're walking that line
And it's anyone's guess if you will or you won't
But you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't

I'm slipping & sliding back down the hill
This old clean life I'm living is killing me still
So I'm stocked up on 'settlers' and seltzers and salts
And I'm clearing my throat for the backslider's waltz

Yeah.. I'm singing the backslider's waltz
So set 'em up joe, two beers and two malts
And join me one time on the backslider's waltz

So I'm here on this barstool, a tear in my eye
Some old song on the jukebox is making me cry
Jack daniels is beating a drum in my head
And I know I'm alive 'cos I wish I was dead

And the band played the backslider's waltz
