Lyrics Rodney Crowell – We Want Everything
Text:
I heard that you did it
And I can’t believe my ears
Though now I can see it coming
As I look back through the years
But your soul could never flower
And desperation got a hold on you
And it stole away your power
I don’t know why you done this thing
To me it makes no sense
But sometimes our dreams just won’t let us live
And we die in self defense
We want everything
Some of us try for it
We want everything
Some of us die for it
So now that you’ve done it
Do you feel better over there?
Do the angels have respect for you?
Does lady luck treat you fair?
And back down here we scratch our heads
Through the tears we’re all a mess
How you could make a choice like that is just anybody’s guess
We want everything
Some of us try for it
We want everything
Some of us die for it
And did your head then heart get so spun out you couldn’t stop to think?
And were you just so sick your mind went click when you were hovered on the brink?
And where we go from here, man, no one really knows but we deserve better than this from you
We want everything
Some of us try for it
We want everything
Some of us die for it
We want everything
Some of us try for it
We want everything
Some of us die for it
