[Intro: Joe Richardson]
Backslider

[Verse 1: Joe Richardson]
Oh, backslider, backslider, headin' for hell
Caught in a landslide, pure 'caine trail
Paleface, no trace, hidin' from the man
Starin' at the mirror with a gun in your hand

[Verse 2: Joe Richardson]
Backslider, backslider, lost in pain
Can't slay the dragon when he's runnin' through your veins
Noddin' out, no doubt, hidin' from the man
Starin' at the mirror with a gun in your hand

[Hook: Joe Richardson]
Backslider, seek home, man
Oh, backslider

[Interlude: Joe Richardson]
Oh, backslider, backslider
Headin' for hell
Oh, you're a backslider
Let's go back, backslider, hey
Yeah, you're a backslider
Come down
Come down now, come on, down
Hey, you're going nowhere, whatever's out there, hey

[Verse 3: Joe Richardson]
Backslider, backslider, sinkin' on down
Like a rooster in a rainstorm, you gon' drown
Juice head, 'bout dead, hiding from the man

[Interlude: Joe Richardson, Hepzibah Sessa]
Taste the tracks
Come taste the tracks
Oh, yeah
Backslider
Come taste the tracks Begone, back
Come taste the tracks
Come taste the tracks

[Coda]
I had a nervous breakdown at the end
And... and through 6 psychiatrists
Before the sixth one finally decided that she could probably make it

[Outro: Joe Richardson]
I could make me some money if I had a pet monkey
They could call me OG Jay other than Randy Joe
