Song lyrics

All songs written by Kris Kristofferson except as noted.

Kristofferson (1970)

• Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose..
  And nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free..
  • Me and Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster

• I don't care what's right or wrong,
  I don't try to understand,
  Let the devil take tomorrow,
  Lord tonight I need a friend.
  • Help Me Make It Through the Night

• Lay your head upon my pillow
  Hold your warm and tender body
  Close to mine
  Hear the whisper of the raindrops
  Blow softly against my window
  Make believe you love me
  One more time
  For the good times
  For the good times..
  • For the Good Times

• And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
  So I had one more for dessert
  Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
  And found my cleanest dirty shirt..
  • Sunday Morning Comin' Down

The Silver Tongued Devil and I (1971)

• Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known before, in my time.
  She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend.
  I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind.
  But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end.

  And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.

  • Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)

• He's a poet, he's a picker--
  He's a prophet, he's a pusher--
  He's a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned--
  He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
  Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
  • The Pilgrim, Chapter 33

Jesus Was a Capricorn (1972)

• Make believin in forever
  Is just a lie.
  And it seems a little sadder
  Each time we try.
  'Cause it's a shame to make
  The same mistakes again,
  And again.
  It's over.
  Nobody wins.
  • Nobody Wins

• Why me Lord? What have I ever done
  To deserve even one of the pleasures I've known?
  Tell me Lord what did I ever do
  That was worth loving you or the kindness you've shown?
  • Why Me

Easter Island (1978)

• He said, we'll take us into town, lay our money down
  I'll bring you the sweetest thing that grows
  Because the fairest ones in sight are bloomin every night
  At a tavern called the Sabre and the Rose..
  • Sabre and the Rose

Be who you are
just as long as you can...

Closer to the Bone (2009)

• In a piece of my mind the world can't erase
  I remember the time and the look on your face
  And I will 'till the wind blows the stars from the sky
  'cause the road never ends and the soul never dies
  Be who you are
  just as long as you can
  Know in your heart I'm still your man
  Headin for home
  starlight and stone..
  • Starlight and Stone
