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
