	Mid tempo blues. Realistic look at a guy who's gone back to the beggerly elements, so to speak. He's like Kong, perched atop the Empire State building. He can swat them demon planes for a while, beating his chest and flailing at the air, all buff and confident, but in the end, the planes will get him if he doesn't get off that precipice.

	Story Behind the Song Alcoholics, junkies, and especially Christians who have "fallen away" from the faith can relate to this tune. The reason for the song: No matter how bad you think you are, or how far you think you've fallen, the Bible message is: God will always love you and take you in if you ask His forgiveness with a sincere heart. amen. Lyrics My mind's in a whirl, my heart is slowly sinkin in. I ain't been to a church, I ain't read The Word, since I don't know when. When my luck takes a turn for the worse, instead of prayin I just fuss, whine and curse. I got them Backslider's Blues. Yeah Lord. I've been datin silly women, I been smokin , I been drinkin again. I been crusin the streets, I been callin up all them old friends. And now, there's people with strange ideas goin in and out my door, I'm so confused, I don't know what i believe anymore. I got them Backslidersd' Blues. I'm turned upside down and over again. I seem to have lost control of my life. I won't go back to church but I ain't makin it in the world, and there's voices in my head tellin me: "Why don't you just put out the light?" My old pastor calls me up, tells me the church been prayin for me. He wishes I'd come back, I tell him, "Don't you worry about me. I'm doin fine." I feel the tug of The Spirit, but it's gettin weaker every day. That same old helpless feelin takin His place. I got them Backslider's Blues. Yeah Lord.
