ALL FOR HER was the child of a final phone call.  It’s title comes directly from my parting words, which were, and I quote….”Save it All for Her”….”click”

 

ALL FOR HER was considered in the 59th Recording Academy Awards in American Roots Song and American Roots Performance.

 

 

Lyrics

Word is, you’ve got a hell of a girl

Word is, she’s gone and changed your world

She wears your ring much better than me

She’s everything you always wanted me to be

 

She makes you laugh, and you make her smile

She’s your better half, well at least just for a little while

Well, she don’t know you like I do

Honey I see right through you

 

So take your plastic smile, and your downcast eyes

Save your words, you’ll only start the truth but end in lies and

Save your reasons for somebody who’ll believe them

Save it All For Her

 

So did you shake, when you took one knee

Was her reaction everything you wanted it to be

And did she cry when she said yes

Does she know its me that you wanted in that white dress

 

And did you stop to take your time

Make sure you said her name, instead of mine

Well, she don’t know you like I do

Honey I see right through you

 

So take your plastic smile, and your downcast eyes

Save your words, you’ll only start the truth but end in lies and

Save your reasons for somebody who’ll believe them

Save it All For Her

 

Does she know how you said that you’d love me to the day you died

Funny thing is where I’m standing, you’re still alive

Does she know that when you see her that you’re always gonna look for me

Does she know thats the way it’s always gonna be

 

So take your plastic smile, and your downcast eyes

Save your words, you’ll only start the truth but end in lies and

Save your reasons for somebody who’ll believe them

Save it All For Her

Save it All For Her

Save it All

For Her
