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

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

Backslider, Backslider, sinkin’ on down
Like a rooster in a rainstorm, you gon’ drown
Juice head, ‘bout dead, hiding from the man
