The Battle
When I am buried don't visit my graveGod cannot save me from the sins I've embracedPay your respects at the old liquor storeWhere I won the battle, but I lost the warYou mine for silver, and I pan for goldYou keep yours hidden, while all my are soldYou tell the truth, and I lie and I barterAnd I drink and I cry, and I pass out at nightI've always cheated, though I've never stolenI've wanted things that you ain't never thought ofPay your respects to that gamblin' scoreWhere I won the battle, and I lost the warThey always told me when death came my sins would beCast out, forgotten, laid to rest with my bodyPay your respects to that old church-house doorWhere I won the battle, and I lost the war.
