To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright
Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's
Greed and elections, guns and drugs and whores and booze

I ain't here to save no and even if I could
I never save enough to put back half the ones I took
So if rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me
They'd long been and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
