We argued over whether I could buy that Chevy
That Silverado sitting in the drive
She would always given when we'd fight about religion
Even though, Lord knows that she was rightFrom politics to picture shows and music on the radio
What we could and could not afford
Well, I may have won the battles but I still lost the warAnd every time we'd disagree
And it got down to her and me
It was always me who got his wayNow, sittin' here I'm lookin' back
The only thing I see is that
The time for lookin' back's a bit too lateAnd I'm thinking as she's walking out the door
I may have won those battles but I still lost the warSo many times she'd ask me
Just to meet her halfway
But in my mind there was no compromiseAnd it kills me to remember
All the times when she'd surrender
Never showin' me a single tear she criedAnd as I watch her walkin' out
I'm left here to figure out
What it was that I was fightin' for?
I may have won those battles but I still lost the warAnd every time we'd disagree
And it got down to her and me
It was always me who got his wayNow, sittin' here I'm lookin' back
The only thing I see is that
The time for lookin' back's a bit too lateWell, I'm thinking as she's walking out the door
I may have won those battles but I still lost the warNow sitting here I'm looking back
The only thing I see is that
The time for looking back's a bit too lateI'm thinking as she's walking out the door
I may have won those battles but I still lost the war
I may have won those battles but I just lost the war
