Battle of Nashville Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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 throught the struggles and pain
And make believe I′m all toghether
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
