Written in July 2001.. this version recorded in July 2011 at Noel White's Mill Creek Studios in Annapolis, Maryland
lyrics
I've been thru the fire a time or two and i'm too young to feel this blue
new love old love what do I know? I think about the time and wonder where does it go
coal dark night, cut with a flare, wherever I go now she'll be there and...
Everything I ever done, I done for a woman
She gets inside and it can feel so nice, in the night it's warm but in the day like ice
and I lived the free breath of my life down in her secret tomb in the middle of the night
and I can't say the right words to be sure, that girl will never hear a word a word or more
and I know that i'm not there, she's so far away hell I still care and...
Everything I ever done I done for a woman
The things I done, the good and bad, the memories I got could drive a man mad
but I did all I done for just one choice and I couldn't help but to speak my voice
and I know there's words I can't take back now, but somewhere they'll make sense somehow
someday far on down the darkened road you can forget about me honey and lighten your load and...
Everything I ever done I done for a woman...
Not ruled by one, ruled by many
I think about ends, dead end beginnings drinking
thinking 'bout a woman...
Well you can scratch it off another stolen season, just another blame another silly reason
To star over right back where you began, you can run around in circles 'til you come home again
and I don't know where I'm headed to, my heart has turned a deeper shade of blue
but I'll live on no matter the cost if it's me i've won and you i've lost and..
Everything I ever done, I done for a woman...
