This Blood's For You

He held his cards close to his chest

And smiled across the mud

Blew the smoke from a green flak vest

And laid back like a god

Saved my life a million times

Before I knew his name

I watched him die between the lines

Praying for his pain

He kicked the dust between the rows

And dug and empty well

Broke the plow then blew his nose

And cursed the sky to hell

I said its got so dry out here

That I can’t even cry

I can’t work and I can’t speak

and it’s too damn hot to die

For all the struggle that you go through

For all our mortal flaws

For all the trouble we put you to

For sorrow that we cause

And for every wicked sinner born anew

And every fallen angel turning blue

Man, for every long, lost soul without a shoe

Hey, for all, for all that you do,

This blood’s for you

He kicked the dust between the row

A and dug and empty well

Broke the plow then blew his nose

And cursed the sky to hell

Said its got so dry out here

That I can’t even cry

I can’t work and I can’t sleep

And it’s too damn hot to die

For all the struggle that you go through

For all our mortal flaws

For all the trouble we put you to

For sorrow that we cause

And for every wicked sinner born anew

Yeah, for every fallen angel turning blue

Man, for every long, lost soul without a shoe

Hey, for all, for all that you do

This blood’s for you

God put his son upon the world

To save the sins of men

Watched them kill him on a cross

And then took him home again

Maybe he’s a vengeful god

And maybe we’re to blame

Maybe we’re just paying back

In blood and death and pain

For all the struggle that you go through

For all our mortal flaws

For all the trouble we put you to

For sorrow that we cause

And for every wicked sinner born anew

Yeah, for every fallen angel turning blue

Yeah, for every long, lost soul without a shoe

Man, for all, for all that you do

This blood’s for you

This blood’s for you

I said this blood is for you
