The Surrender

I'm raising the stakes on the name in my hand
I'm writing in down just as soon as he can behave
And get on, and on and on

I walk in the blues, I walk in his room
And nobody notices me walk in to the "Red Moon"
But it's on, it's on, it's on

I found out by phone that this brother of mine
Was dining with his men when they fell under attack
It went on, and on and on

He was preachin' the words he's known,
Preachin' the words they've grown to listen to

They drove 'em from Memphis to Mobile on New Years
And threw down their handle on the war, while everyone cheered
It went on, and on and on

He was preachin' the words he's known,
Preachin' the words they've grown to listen to
