In 1973 Bruce Springsteen wrote For You. Manfred Manns Earth Band did a version of it that totally rocks. It is timeless. Im pretty sure that Dan Mitchell played it a few days ago on 99.5 The Mountain and now I cant get it out of my head. I just love Springsteens lyrics. Princess cards she sends me with her regards, Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy To see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her cheshire smile Ill stand on file Shes all I ever wanted You let your blue walls stand in the way of these facts, honey Get your carpet baggers off my back Girl give me time to cover my tracks You said, Heres your mirror and your ball and jacks But theyre not what I came for Oh I came for so much more And I know you that too And I know you know thats true I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you Crawl into my ambulance Your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all to me now While youve got the strength to speak Cause theyre waiting for you at Bellevue With their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now If only you could ask Dont call for your surgeon Even he says its late Its not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Dont give me my money back Dont want it anymore Its not that nursery mouth I came back for Its not the way youre stretched out on the floor Ive broken all your windows And Ive rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars And you should know thats true You should know that too I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you Dont call for your surgeon Even he says its late Its not your lungs this time But your heart holds your fate Dont give me my money back Dont want it anymore Its not that nursery mouth I came back for Its not the way youre stretched out on the floor Ive broken all your windows And Ive rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars You should know thats true You should know that too I came for you I came for you I came for you For you I came for you https://youtube/watch?v=QoyoaWJM9o8
