Losing Battles

Josh Ritter

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 --- Losing Battles - Josh Ritter
