Losing Battles |
| Lost man sining for his soul |
| I saw it on Rio Bravo |
| He held the notes like rock and roll |
| And told his tale to Colorado |
| I gave up my only twin |
| I turned my face to the world of shadows |
| Sometimes the righteous win |
| Most times, it’s a losing battle |
| Swam naked in the mythic lake |
| Spent the night on the face of the earth |
| From the apple tree, I ripped a snake |
| It was a poison but I knew of its worth |
| Kept it in a box of wood |
| Fed it all my sins and apples |
| Tried to do the things I should |
| Till then, it’s a losing battle |
| It’s always been in my nature to be the beast |
| Blame the maker but stay with me |
| Drifted down to Tennessee |
| Lost my heart to a girl of silver |
| She was trying to be free |
| There was nothing to forgive her |
| By the time the fever broke |
| I’d had enough of trouble |
| That’s when trouble spoke |
| Sometimes, it’s a losing battle |
| It’s always been in my nature to be the beast |
| Blame the maker but stay with me |
| Fell into a den of thieves |
| Got lost in the caves of virtue |
| Born again and lost belief |
| Without a friend till the day I met you |
| Now I’m trying to mend my ways |
| I had enough of pain and bad will |
| Good enough for you someday |
| Till then, it’s a losing battle |
