For Love Lyrics

Intro: D Am G D
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, crying like a child
Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancin' 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'll tell you friend, I did it all for love
CHORUS:
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 that I just stepped across
I..... Wonder why?
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
Watched the heavens opened up, heard the angel choir
Sing the holy song of God, to thine own self be true
