I've Done Everything I Can Do
Rodney Crowell · Other Songs - Rodney Crowell
I?d love to hear you laughing
Love to see you smile
Dance that little dance you danced
When you were just a child
The way the world came at you
Left you bitter and confused
The more I tried to guide your path
The more you just felt used
The suns comes up to my room but there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby it can knock you to your kness
The path that lies between us is a star crossed avenue
I?ve done everything I can dothere?s nothing I can do
So you loved that girl to death
And you?re scared to take a breath
It's like everything your dread
Swings a hammer in your head
So her heart?s locked in a vault
And you think it's all your fault
It's a dream as old as dirt
You can?t stand to see her hurt
May the little voice that guides ya
Send a message through for me
Reminding you you?re beautiful
And will forever be
I wish that I could be there now
To tell you it's alright
It's a dark and daunting razors edge
You?re walking on tonight
The sun comes up to my room but there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby it can knock you to your kness
The path that lies between us is a rough and rocky route
I?ve done everything I can and there?s nothing I can do
So you?re learning to let go
And the process is so slow
And while your baby plumbs the depths
You keep climbing up the steps
She was daddys little girl
You were ruler of the world
And now she?s out there in the fray
Ahh but she?ll be back someday
You?ve heard me say a million times
My work is never done
For those who keep the wolves at bay
There is no setting sun
To see you standing here today
Pray child you?ve come so far
Which prooves that you can find your way
No matter where you are
The sun comes up to my room but there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby it can knock you to your knees
The path that lies between us is the long way home it's true
I?ve done everything I can and there?s nothing I can do
I?ve done everything I can...hey look at you
Love to see you smile
Dance that little dance you danced
When you were just a child
The way the world came at you
Left you bitter and confused
The more I tried to guide your path
The more you just felt used
The suns comes up to my room but there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby it can knock you to your kness
The path that lies between us is a star crossed avenue
I?ve done everything I can dothere?s nothing I can do
So you loved that girl to death
And you?re scared to take a breath
It's like everything your dread
Swings a hammer in your head
So her heart?s locked in a vault
And you think it's all your fault
It's a dream as old as dirt
You can?t stand to see her hurt
May the little voice that guides ya
Send a message through for me
Reminding you you?re beautiful
And will forever be
I wish that I could be there now
To tell you it's alright
It's a dark and daunting razors edge
You?re walking on tonight
The sun comes up to my room but there are no guarantees
It can rock you like a baby it can knock you to your kness
The path that lies between us is a rough and rocky route
