Double Wide Blues
Todd Snider

Intro chords:
D   G   A

D                     
V-neck t-shirt with a mustard stain
G
Holdin' up a hose outside in the rain
A
He's been my neighbor since '99
D
'Course he was in prison most of that time
D
Ever since then he just ain’t been right
G
His old lady works days and they fight most nights
A                                             D  
Laid off and blown off, pissed off on booze - Double wide blues

Metallica song blastin' out from two trailers down
It's them cut off t-shirt numb chuck kids comin' around
Tonight they'll get drunk, try to get laid
End up in a fight out behind the arcade
You know one of them little shits broke my window last spring
I told his momma she didn’t do anything
She works two jobs, the kid runs loose- Double wide blues

CHORUS
D           G
Double Wide Blues
          A              D
I got the blues - Double wide

My buddy Jimmy, now his trailer's cool
He got him a deck with one of them blue plastic pools
Workin' construction, he builds spec homes
His old lady left him, now he's down there alone
My friend Anita, she loves him, but he dont know
He's so busy chasin' my neighbor’s wife Flo
Soap opera heaven without all the clues - Double wide blues

REPEAT CHORUS

Wild Bill the manager he keeps to himself
The war took his smile like them pills took his health
Too old to run with the Klan anymore
U.S. Flag hangin' outside his door
I sit here watchin' all this nuthin' go on
I don’t get out much now since momma's been gone
Sometimes its nice havin' nuthin' to lose - Double wide blues

REPEAT CHORUS 2x
