STEEP CANYON RANGERS
"Lay Myself Down"
(Graham Sharp)

It's the firing line
This cursed space
By my side
Must be a hard luck place
No one ever did stay
Never stayed too long
Just long enough
To go all wrong
Where the rest had failed
You stood this ground

[Chorus:]
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down

O my love
It's time you know
So listen close and let it go
I'll wear these chains
Like a shining crown

[Chorus:]
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down

Where tomorrow leads
I cannot go
That path is for your steps alone
Shed no more tears
Upon this ground

[Chorus:]
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down

So leave your guns
Smoking at the gate
We'll never be free 'til we're free from hate
When I'd lost faith
It was you I found

[Chorus:]
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
For you I'd lay myself down
Lay myself down
