All In The Name Of Love Lyrics - Willie Nelson

Big Jim Butcher was the king of the hill 

He ran his business with a deadly will 

His foreman, John, had a pretty wife 

The way she looked cut Jim like a knife 

John was weak and his wife was, too 

Her name was Kate, and she fell in, too 

She let Big Jim do what he had to do 

And John stood by and his life was thru 

(Chorus:) 

It was all in the name of love 

All in the name of love 

You can't change the stars above 

All in the name of love

John took a bottle one drink at a time 

Stared off in space as he lost his mind 

Knew who it was on the telephone 

He saw it all and he felt so alone 

One dark morning, John stood up like a man 

He took his shotgun with a steady hand 

He went to the motel - broke the door in 

He left two holes where two hearts had been 

(repeat chorus) 

Photos 

He called the preacher and he called the law 

And when they got there it was pretty raw 

He said "Boys, you better come and take me away 

I've done all I can do in the name of love today" 

(repeat chorus 3 times)
