Rodney Crowell - We Want Everything lyrics

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 You can smell the roses with the best of 'em brother 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 Down to the bitter end I said I'd be your friend, but now there's nothing I can do 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
