"The North Won The War Again Last Night" lyrics
Bus station in Atlanta, 6:40 in the evenin'
She was standin', cold and all alone
I asked where she was goin' but she had no way of knowin'
'Cause she was broke and a long way from home
Straight from New York City, she was young and thin and pretty
She belonged in a fashion magazine
I said, "Stay with me 'til mornin', I got a bed to keep you warm in"
We call it southern hospitality
Lyin' in the stillness, there was no blue or gray
Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we lay
She held me close and loved this southern boy just right
And the north won the war again last night
Morning's all around me, my arms are all around her
She's sleepin' and, Lord, she looks so fine
Between the shades of last night and this mornings daylight
We found love's Mason Dixon line
And in her arms I found that love isn't north or south
It isn't how you say the things you say
New York City or Atlanta, Cleveland or Savanna
She's taken all the boundaries away
Lyin' in the stillness, there was no blue or gray
Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we lay
She held me close and loved this southern boy just right
And the north won the war again last night
She was standin', cold and all alone
I asked where she was goin' but she had no way of knowin'
'Cause she was broke and a long way from home
Straight from New York City, she was young and thin and pretty
She belonged in a fashion magazine
I said, "Stay with me 'til mornin', I got a bed to keep you warm in"
We call it southern hospitality
Lyin' in the stillness, there was no blue or gray
Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we lay
She held me close and loved this southern boy just right
And the north won the war again last night
Morning's all around me, my arms are all around her
She's sleepin' and, Lord, she looks so fine
Between the shades of last night and this mornings daylight
We found love's Mason Dixon line
And in her arms I found that love isn't north or south
It isn't how you say the things you say
New York City or Atlanta, Cleveland or Savanna
She's taken all the boundaries away
Lyin' in the stillness, there was no blue or gray
Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we lay
She held me close and loved this southern boy just right
And the north won the war again last night
