LOST MY HEAD IN BATTLE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

I kissed her then I missed her
went off with someone else
I should've let it go
I should've blamed myself
instead I picked a fight with someone
that was twice my size
I woke up in the gutter
with blood in both my eyes

lost my head head in battle
in battle lost my head
I'm lucky to get outta there
when everything went red
my nerves got shot and rattled
I saved my life instead
lost my head in battle
I'm lucky I aint dead

I went to see her momma
I argued with her pa
I threw rocks at her window
her cousin called the law
they said why did you do it
could you please explain
but I said something stupid
so they put me on a train

I got to Licking County
and there I registered
I weren't a sex offender
I only wanted her
but she had changed her number
and she had changed her name
and when I got back home again
nothing was the same

so let me tell you brother
don't do what I did
my only explanation
is that I was a kid
but now that I am older
I ought to better know
but every time they stop me
I say I gotta go

lost my head head in battle
in battle lost my head
I'm lucky to get outta there
when everything went red
my nerves got shot and rattled
I saved my life instead
lost my head in battle
I'm lucky I aint dead
