Dean Tyler - Somebody Who Would Die For You lyrics

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
