Somebody Who Would Die For You

He was beggin' by the mini-mart Who'd guessed he had a purple heart Scars underneath his bearded chin Betcha don't remember him 'Cause you were runnin' twenty minutes late An' he was only gettin' in your way But when you brushed by that wounded soul Last Thursday afternoon You met somebody who would die for you Phone rang at eight last night Who'd call at such a crazy time? Gettin' kids into bath and bed Can't talk about all he said All he wanted was a Saturday Mornin' conversation down at Bakers' Cafe You weren't thinkin' when you told you dad Try back in a week or two But you heard somebody who would die for you Chorus: Somebody who cared so much They'd gladly give it all up If that's what they had to do Runs deeper than flesh and blood Heaven knows no greater love Than the sacrafice they made To see you through Somebody who would die for you Just another Colorado day Mornin' practice for a high school play But out of nowhere the bullets came fast Shaddered more than the library class They asked her if she believed in your name An' she didn't even hesitate God I can't help but wonder if I'd been in her shoes Would I'd be Somebody who would die for you Somebody who cared so much They'd gladly give it all up If that's what they had to do Runs deeper than flesh and blood Heaven knows no greater love Than the sacrafice you made to see us through Your son died for me Would I be Somebody who would die for you
