"Song For You" lyrics

It's rainin' out in Soho, you're tellin' me, "Don't go"
Tucked outside a bar door, what are we alive for?
I could call a car or we could walk down the avenue
I wrote a song for you
About that spot in Ireland, you got on the table when
That man played his sad songs for me and all my drunken friends
You danced there and I did too
That night I wrote a song for you
And you remind me of some old timey photo that I saw
In the doorway on a long day, in your black-lace bra
Started writin' when I met you, I'll be writin' when I die
This song for you

I heard you told your daddy 'bout some boy in the city
He's Oklahoma trash, but he's real kind with me
Does a boy get tired of playin' those tunes
But I wrote this song for you

Deep within my lower spine, I see you drinkin' summer wine
At a venue out in Dublin, back when I said nothing
Wish I'd said then the things I'm thinkin' now
I wrote a song for you
And all these people tellin' me I ain't what I used to be
But you've known me since I was naive and twenty-three
I could give a shit about what these people say I am
I wrote a song for you
And I feel like a kid again when you start askin' questions
About my mama, Oklahoma or the way I'm sleepin'
When they took the boy you knew, sold him for profit
I had you in my arms last night, but I lost it

I heard you told your daddy 'bout some boy in the city
He's Oklahoma trash, but he's real kind with me
Does a boy get tired of playin' those tunes
But I wrote this one for you
Yeah, I wrote this one for you

Maybe you move on, do something different
Find yourself a sober man who golfs and is Christian
But in everything I say and in everything I do
I wrote this song for you
