sonnerie téléphone portable pour For love
Video clip

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
