Uncle Jimmie's tried and true
Fought for the red white and blue
But he ain't been right since the desert storm
Yeah he made it through Iraq
But they say the cancers back
And they don't think that there's
Much more they can do.
Uncle Jimmy, he just can't win to lose.
My aunt Betty prays for him
And she chases it with Gin and that
Good ole homemade apple wine.
She sells nick nacks for a buck.
She's so down on her luck.
Welcome to the devil's backbone.
I said welcome to the devil's Backbone.
Out there they live off broken fans and nothing
While air conditioned folks bitch and moan
About this and that and that and this and nothing
About them folks out in the devil's backbone.
Jimmy Jr's 17 hooked on methamphetamine
That he cooks up in a trailer down the road.
Yeah he started young but that's just the way it's done
Out there in the devil's backbone.
His older sisters doing time cause her boyfriend crossed the line
With little sis she still lives at home
She put a bullet in his head
Then she left him there for dead
That's how it's done , in the backbone.
Out there they live off broken fans and nothing
While air conditioned folks bitch and moan
About this and that and that and this and nothing
About us folks out in the devil's backbone.
Out there they live off broken fans and nothing
While air conditioned folks bitch and moan
About this and that and that and this and nothing
About us folks out in the devil's backbone.
