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
