For Love

Lyrics:

• 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
