Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

All Of My Life Lyrics
Steve Earle
I guess I dont get out too much
If it wasnt enough I hear all these voices
Always tellin me that Im bad
But its all in my head - like all those scary noises
Chorus
Ive been waiting all of my life
All of my life
Ive been waiting all of my life
All of my life
Some nights when Im laying in bed
Wish I was dead - and I know youd never miss me
But I know where you go when you dream
Strange as that seems cause I never even kissed you
Chorus
Everybody wants to be somebodys somethin
Aint nobody wants to be blue
Aint nobody anywhere ever loved nothin
Half as much as I love you
Somebody somewhere said love is a prison
But no one really wants to be free
Id have to be crazy to ever think someone
Could love a nobody like me
Im here alone in the dark
But I know where you are
cause I can hear you breathin
Come a little closer youll find
You were meant to be mine
cause youre the only reason
Chorus x 2
