Rock And Roll Time Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

By Kris Kristofferson, Bob Neuwirth and Roger McGuinn
Do I look like a loser?
Do I stand in your way?
A threat to your future
You planned yesterday
Well, I fought for my freedom
Some called it a crime
Convicted of running
On rock and roll time

Chorus:
I said rock and roll time
Please take me away
To the whiskey and wine
Of some better day
And if sometimes it seems
I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running
On rock and roll time

I'm judged in your airports
Each time that I fly
I've been locked in your jailhouse
Oh, but I'm getting by
Just hoping that heaven
Is happy and high
And everyone's running
On rock and roll time

Chorus:
I said rock and roll time
Please take me away
To the whiskey and wine
Of some better day
And if sometimes it seems
I'm falling behind
Remember I'm running
On rock and roll time

Living Legend Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

Was it bitter then with our backs against the wall?
Were we better men than we'd ever been before?
Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?
Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter anymore?
We were simple men by her side when she was born
It was simple then like the freedom when you fall
And we were smaller then, you see, but soon we gathered like a storm.
They don't understand what that thunder meant at all.
Was he crucified? Was he done in by the lawman?
Are you satisfied that he'll never ride again?
Some people say he got away; they say he never died at all.
If that story's true, does it bother you, my friend?
Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall?
Were we better men than we'd ever been before?
Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?
Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter anymore?

A Song I'd Like To Sing Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....)
There's a song I'd like to sing
Do you know the song I mean?
It don't always sound the same
But it's always good to sing.
Maybe it don't mean a thing
It's a pretty little tune.
It's a song I'd like to sing
And I'd love to sing with you.
And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man
We can sing along together
Just enyoying 'til it's over
It don't need to last forever
If we want it to it can.
(Muppets: Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....)

Help Me Make It Through The Night Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

Take the ribbons from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against you skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay here by my side
Tell the Earth upon you lied
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't know what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a drink
Yesterday's dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
Yes, it saddenss me long
Help me make it through the night
Yes, it saddenss me long....
Help me make it through the night.

It Sure Was (love) Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

They said, "What do you think you would do
If she told you that she'd been untrue?"
I'd say, "I won't say I won't be sorry, no.
It sure was love while it lasted."

They said, "How will you feel deep inside
When the love you believed in has died?"
I ain't sayin' it won't hurt me
It sure was love while it lasted

I'll be livin off of the good times
That you've given me to face
I have had my share of the sunshine
I can stand a little rain.

So we don't give a damn what they say
We've go something they can't take away
'Cause whatever comes tomorrow
It sure was love while it lasted

It sure was good while it lasted
It sure was love while it lasted.

Come Sundown Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

I heard the front door closing softly,
as I wakened from my sleep;
With the last touch of her kips, Lord,
like a whisper on my cheek;
And I cursed the sun for risin',
'cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come;
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

See the lipstick on the pillow
that I placed beneath her head;
And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord,
where she lay upon my bed;
And it hurts to know it's over,
for the hurt, Lord, has just begun.
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

Late Again (gettin' Over You) Lyrics By Kris Kristofferson

Woke up late again this morning
Cause I was late again last night
In the mood that I was born in
And my skin was feelin' tight
I took a short cut to the city
Had myself a drink or two
I got over feeling shaky
But I'm still not over you
Chorus:
God, I might as well forget you
You ain't never comin' true
Seems like ever since I met you
I've been gettin' over you
I don't crave no conversation
I don't need no sympathy
All I want is my old lady
That old lady wantin' me
So take me any way you want me
I'll take you any way I can
I don't want your sack of candy
Just some sweetness now and then
Chorus:
I got to get myself together
With someone who wants some too
Maybe I can learn to love her
While I'm a-gettin' over you
