Whiskeytown - The Battle

Intro:
C...G...D...G


C..............G................D.........G
when i am buried don't visit my grave

C................G........................D..........G
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 and 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 though i've never stolen
i've wanted things that you ain't never thought of
pay your respects to that gambling score
where i won the battle and i lost the war

they always told me when death came my sins would be
casted out, forgotten, laid to rest with my body
pay your respects to that old church house door
where i won the battle and i lost the war

Was bored in Indiana until he moved out west
Working for the Mississippi government

Didn't want to die on his daughter and his son

Working for the Mississippi government
Was going to be a sheriff but he wouldn't to use a gun
Didn't want to die on his daughter and his son
Further down the road
Traveling the hard dirt and the snow
