The Battle (feat: Ryan Adams)
When I am buried
Don't visit my grave
God cannot save me
From the sins I've embraced
Pay your respects
To that old liquor store
Where I won the battle
And I lost the war
You mine for silver
And I pan for gold
You keep yours hidden
When all mine is sold
You tell the truth
And I lie and I barter
And I drink and I cry
And I pass out at night
I've always cheated
But I've never stolen
I've wanted things that
You ain't never thought of
Pay your respects
To the gamblin' score
Where I won the battle
And I lost the war
They always told me
When death came my sins would be
Cast down, forgotten
Laid to rest with my body
Pay your respects
To the old church-house door
Where I won the battle
And I lost the war
Don't visit my grave
God cannot save me
From the sins I've embraced
Pay your respects
To that old liquor store
Where I won the battle
And I lost the war
You mine for silver
And I pan for gold
You keep yours hidden
When all mine is sold
You tell the truth
And I lie and I barter
And I drink and I cry
And I pass out at night
I've always cheated
But I've never stolen
I've wanted things that
You ain't never thought of
Pay your respects
To the gamblin' score
Where I won the battle
And I lost the war
They always told me
When death came my sins would be
Cast down, forgotten
Laid to rest with my body
Pay your respects
To the old church-house door
Where I won the battle
And I lost the war
