Verse 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 you're surrender tonight Verse 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 you're surrender tonight
