My Song for You Lyrics


The dying day paints a portrait of sadness
Upon this lonely L. A. tear
Have I found a home in this prison of my own
Trapped in a borderline careerBut there she sits in a store on 13th street
Walking a borderline of her own
Is she ever gonna know the way that I see her
When she walks into a roomAnd I'm not exactly happy
About all of the things that I've done
I've made some mistakes and I know that I'm young
And I'm sorry if I hurt anyoneWell, of all the things I'm proud of
And the places I've found in the sun
The way I find myself loving her
Is the best thing I've ever doneGod knows it's hard to let someone new in
When you're still looking for a sign
And the harder it sits, the older I get
But the taste is as sweet as wineSo come with me, skate across the dance floor
As I sing my song for you
But if you let go, I want you to know

That I'm saving my dance for youAnd I know I've climbed some mountains
That I probably never should have climbed
I feel like falling farther and hit bottom harder
That I've ever reasoned or rhymedBut if I only had a way to show her
How deep my heartache runs
And the way I find myself loving her
Is the best thing I've ever doneAnd if anyone would have told me
I would have loved anyone this way
I probably never would have listened
But now I'm here and I have to sayThat you only make me stronger
I've never been more proud of anyone
And the way I find myself loving you
Is the best thing I've ever done

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Shooter Jennings (born Waylon Albright Jennings in 1979, ) is an American country music singer, the only child of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. His middle name comes from his father's drummer, Richie Albright. His father nicknamed him "Shooter" after he urinated on a nurse shortly after birth (as the elder Jennings wrote in his 1996 autobiography).

Shooter Jennings lived his first few years in a crib on his parents' tour bus. By age five, he was playing drums. Between tours, he took piano lessons. He started playing guitar at fourteen and sometimes played in his father's band. He and his father recorded a few things together when they happened to have some microphones set up and the tape recorder plugged in. At age sixteen, Jennings discovered rock 'n' roll.

As an adult, Jennings left Nashville, Tennessee to seek his fortunes in Los Angeles. He assembled and performed with Stargunn, a southern rock band whose sound he described as Lynyrd Skynyrd mutating into Guns N' Roses. Stargunn performed at local clubs for six years, built a rabid following and earned praise from the local music press. But the Hollywood party scene eventually began to bother him. He says, "I was posing as a rocker—a country guy trying to be something he wasn't."

On March 30, 2003, Jennings dissolved Stargunn and moved to New York City to spend time with his girlfriend and sort out what he wanted to do next. An unexpected gig at the House of Blues a few weeks later revived his creativity. He returned to Los Angeles to form another band, the 357s. After six weeks in the studio, he completed his first solo album, Put the O Back in Country. Universal South released the album in early 2005.

Jennings portrayed his father in the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line. He is the host of Shooter Jennings' Electric Rodeo, a two-hour weekly music show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Outlaw Country channel. He currently dates Drea de Matteo. Shooter Jennings' second solo album "Electric Rodeo" was released on April 04, 2006.
