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 right

From 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 war



(Chorus)

And every time we'd disagree

And it got down to her and me

It was always me who got his way

Now, sittin' here I'm lookin' back

The only thing I see is that

The time for lookin' back's a bit too late

And I'm thinking as she's walking out the door

I may have won those battles

But I still lost the war



So many times she'd ask me

Just to meet her halfway

But in my mind there was no compromise

And it kills me to remmeber all the times when she'd surrender

Never showin' me a single tear she creid

And 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 war



(Repeat Chorus)



Now sitting here I'm looking back

The only thing I see is that the time for looking back's a bit too late

I'm thinking as she walking out the door

I may have won those battles

But I still lost the war



(Tag)

I may have won those battles

But I just lost the war
