I Did It All For You Lyrics - Open - 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) 

Photos 

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)
