Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

The Battle

Dawn breaks on the battlefield

While the mornin' mist lays heavy on the ground

And the silenc is like thunder

As the enemy prepares another round.

And her soft satin armour

Lying on the far side of the bed

Wounded and heart broken

She's scared by the killin' words I said.

I have no rules in battle

So I fire the guns of anger once again

Oh, she's such a little thing

And there's no doubt about it I can win.

But with teardrops as her weapons

She easily destroys my battle plans

And in shamefiully retreatin', I smile at her

And then she takes command.

Oh, what a sweet surrender

I'm captured by two lips so warm and tender

She completely surrounds me with her lovin' arms again

It's the love that brought the battle to an end.

Now the enemies are lovers once again...
