A Song For Love

Capo on 2

G
I get it straight from the still
Am
instead of the general store
C
and the dry, parched Texas wind
D                          G
drinks it straight from my pores
as a boy, I pushed my life
to the edge and watched it drop
when you're young, you can kill time
but it floats back to the top
still, there must be better
ways of life than my own
I've lived my songs with women
O but I've written them alone

D
this is my song for love,
C                          G
look fast, like a morning dove
D                    Em
it's on the wing and gone
D
though man is not immortal,
C                          G
his songs can pass that portal
D                       Em
and I hope this one lives on

you've heard of the stranger who
plays it smart by playing dumb
he can wander any crowd
and just let the secrets come
this whiskey heard all my heart
so I poured it on the sand
wasted like a lonely love song
only you can understand
love is feared for its power
more so than its fickle length
the singer's life is blessed when long
but it's his song that has the strength

and this is my song for love,
look fast, like a morning dove
it's on the wing and gone
though man is not immortal,
his songs can pass that portal
and I hope this one lives on

still, there must be better
ways of life than my own
I've lived my songs with women
O but I've written them alone
