I am trying to find lyrics and chords for a song which came up at a jam session the other week. All there recalled the song but could only remember a chorus fragment- "he ran like a fire on the east Texas flat- plains and he ran just for me just for love." Think opening verse has refference to Stewball. Any info which would help me locate this song will be appreciated. Am willing to purchace the sheet music if someone can get me on the right track but know better than to try local outlets with this little info. -Ivan

JUST FOR LOVE
Bill Staines

Many are the stories of all the fine horses
That run just for silver and gold
Down in Kentucky and all the fine places
For owners to have and to hold
But I'll tell you of one that was swift like the seasons,
One you may never hear of
That ran with his heart on the east Texas flat plains,
He ran just for me, just for love.

Now his eyes were as bright as the sun in the morning,
His coat was a proud silver gray
A sixteen-hand devil that sounded like thunder
As his hooves beat the red Texas clay
And he never won nothing but the love of a rider
As he raced 'neath the stars far above
'cause he ran with his heart on the east Texas flat plains,
he ran just for me, just for love.
