Lyrics I Did It All for You - Cowboy Junkies
(I
did
it
all
for
you)
She
took
his
dentures
from
his
mouth
And
placed
them
in
her
own.
Took
a
shovel
from
the
shed
And
then
dragged
him
from
their
home.
(I
did
it
all
for
you.)
Left
a
note
tacked
to
the
door,
"Paid
in
full"
is
what
it
said.
High
above
I
look
below
And
watch
her
slowly
go.
River,
like
magnesium,
Burns.
(I
did
it
all
for
you)
He
stuck
his
fingers
in
their
backs
To
count
the
holes
he
bore.
Doused
them
all
in
kerosene
And
moved
to
bolt
the
door.
(I
did
it
all
for
you)
Called
his
Dad
and
said
goodbye
As
his
lit
match
hit
the
floor.
High
above
I
look
below
And
watch
them
slowly
go.
River,
like
magnesium,
Burns.
(I
did
it
all
for
you)
Set
his
guilt
before
his
rage
Set
it
like
a
wall
To
protect
what
he
once
knew
as
love,
But
which
he
never
knew
at
all.
River,
like
magnesium,
Burns.
(I
did
it
all
for
you)
(I
did
it
all
for
you)
