for love - robert earl keen lyrics

Loading...

strapped my guns and courage on; set my cattle free
rolled a smoke and i made a vow no more to be reviled
combed her hair and laid her out; pretty as you please
watched the fire light up the night; cryin’ like a child

saw a man in san antone shoot down a dancing queen
and asked him on his hangin’ day “what was he thinkin’ of?”
he said “i never liked the way she treated me so mean
in the end i tell you friend i did it all for love”

stood out on the ragged edge and there i took the fall
i did it all for love my friend, for love i did it all

just this side of devil’s dream, above the sulphur mine
i found the man who robbed me of the girl i loved and lost
i asked him before he died “what made him cross the line?”
he asked me “did i mean the line i just stepped across?”

stood out on the ragged edge and there i took the fall
i did it all for love my friend, for love i did it all

i-i-i-i
wonder why-y

i’ve walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire
but once i was a gentle man every bit like you
i watched the heavens open up, heard the angel choir
sing the holy song of god, ‘to thine own self be true’

stood out on the ragged edge and there i took the fall
i did it all for love my friend, for love i did it all
i did it all for love my friend, for love i did it all
