Battle of Nashville

The moon on the Cumberland river
Went down In a cold bloody red
And you lay beside me and trembled
Like I don’t belong in your bed
It’s just like that night on Old Hickory
And the motel way out on west end
You tried but your heart was in it
Now you’re fighting against it again
And the battle of Nashville is raging
There’s a troubling deep in my soul
Here’s my swan song for music city
Cause my forces are out of control
I have hope against hope that you love me
And my heart won’t give up the fight
So, the battle of Nashville continues
And I pray you’ll surrender tonight
Many times I’ve regrouped my emotions
And smiles through the struggles and pain
And make believe I’m all together
Just like I’m doing again
But my little defeats keep on coming
Cause you keep on holding the line
I’m loosing ground with you daily
And it’s just a matter of time
And the battle of Nashville is raging
There’s a troubling deep in my soul
Here’s my swan song for music city
Cause my forces are out of control
I have hope against hope that you love me
And my heart won’t give up the fight
So, the battle of Nashville continues
And I pray you’ll surrender tonight
