Laura Veirs - The Ballad of John Vogelin lyrics

I survived the desperate toll dark depression takes I may not break even but babe I'll never break Golden coins and smiles no they cannot tip my scales 'cause this land, this love will never be for sale Bra** hats and soldier boys whiskey on your breath Drop your holy missiles you can take my body dead Send me all your lightning storms your thunderheads and hail 'cause this land, this love will never be for sale (Yodeling) Wild eyes they watch on me through the velvet night Fire on the mountain you can burn me where I lie Even though I'm dead now as an old and rusty nail This land, this love will never be for sale
