A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe was one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he didn't have many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he was among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school. For the next 20 years, he never spent more than a handful of months outside of a correctional facility — he spent much of his twenties in the Ohio State Penitentiary.

For Lovers Only (IV) Lyrics

David Allan Coe

The last verse was the hardest the hardest to get through
This verse for old lost lovers this song I wrote for you
She's at the point of no return there's no more candles left to burn
She's broken every chain that bound her to your soul
She doesn't care what's right or wrong you've been her victim for too long
She knows you're too weak to be strong you'll lose control
Nothing seems to bother her she's as cool as cool has ever been
She knows she can handle you you've been her fool since God knows when
[ sax ]
There's no more chances left to take you're just another heart she'll break
You're not the first one or the last to come along
She knows exactly how you feel you think you got a dirty deal
You left your heart where she could steal it for a song
[ sax - banjo ]
