Enemy

(Johnny Adcock)



The work day's done it's time to go home

It's time to make decisions I must make alone

For there's a battlefield between my home and me

And I must pass directly by the enemy.



There's flashing lights straight ahead

The neon signs of the barrooms turn the sky blood red

I search for strenght inside of me

I'm passing through the homeland of the enemy.



Like a dreaming man I'm in an open door

Then all the painted faces remind me I'm at war

I turn to leave and tremble when

I see the waiting patient eyes of the enemy.



Their eyes shine bright they strike me blind

It's too late to run away surrenders on my mind

There's tears at home by now she's missing me

She'll know I'm in the arms of the enemy...
