For Love Lyrics - Singles - Keen Robert Earl

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
