Lyrics:
[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
