Lyrics Ricky Van Shelton

Ricky Van Shelton

Then for Them

Got a ticket in my hand and one foot out the door

It's sad to see how far apart we've come

If we could just forget takin' sides in our little wars

And remember back to where we started from

It's not for you, not for me or anyone we're tryin' to please

But we're two young lovers once had it all

Who carved their names in a crooked heart on a love tree way back when

If not for you, if not for me, then for them

Under a sky full of stars, two people found love

Live or die, they swore it'd never end

Now, through these tears in our eyes, crying out to us

Beggin' for a chance to try again

It's not for you, not for me or anyone we're tryin' to please

But we're two young lovers once had it all

Who carved their names in a crooked heart on a love tree way back when

If not for you, if not for me, then for them

Not for me, then for them
