Feet hit the ground; feet leaving town
Quicker than a bullet or a knife
Falling ain't no fun when you're on the run
Honey we was runnin' for our life
When Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlight
He turned his burnin' eyes upon my soul
"It's time, by God, to spend this night with someone else", he said.
"Squeeze a little pleasure from the gold" (love & glory, children)
We can take it easy when we're old.
He said, "We'll take us into town, lay our money down
I'll bring you to the sweetest thing that grows
Because the fairest ones in sight are bloomin' every night at a tavern
Called the Sabre and the Rose."
We swang into the saddle slick as breathing
And slapped 'em once for pleasure with the reins
The horses snorted frosty in the moonlight
Somethin' dark was singing in my veins
Older than the voices in my brain.
He said, "This place you're gonna see is where they live and breathe
And sink down a little bit deeper every day
And sometimes at night, when the wind is runnin' right,
You can hear it suckin' thirty miles away"
Then the light was crimson and I found her,
All naked and eternal and insane
Sacred as the mysteries around her like a veil
Nothin' but her prison was profane
All we had in common was our chains.
Ah-burn it down boys
Burn it to the ground, boys
Burn it on down
Feet hit the ground; feet leaving town
Quicker than a bullet or a knife
All the way she ran holdin' to my hand
Runnin' for the river and our life
Slidin' from the moonlight into shadows
Silent as the river as it flows
Swimmin' to the place they'll never find us
All we left behind us was our clothes
And the stories, children.

The lyrics SABRE AND THE ROSE of KRIS KRISTOFFERSON is also present in the album The essential (2004)
Kris Kristofferson (nato Christopher Kristofferson il 22 giugno 1936) è un cantautore, musicista e attore statunitense di origine svedese. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica country americana, ha influenzato generazioni di artisti con le sue canzoni introspettive e poetiche che esplorano temi come la vita rurale, l'amore, la perdita e la lotta sociale. Dopo una carriera militare e un breve periodo di studio alla Oxford University, Kristofferson si trasferì a Nashville nel 1966 per dedicarsi alla musica. Inizialmente lavorò come scrittore per altri artisti prima di emergere con il suo album d'esordio "Kristofferson" (1970). Il suo successo arrivò con brani come "Me and Bobby McGee", interpretato da Janis Joplin, e "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", diventato un classico del country. Kristofferson ha collaborato con artisti di fama mondiale come Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings e Willie Nelson, contribuendo a definire il movimento outlaw country degli anni '70. Oltre alla musica, ha recitato in numerosi film, tra cui "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (1973) e "Blade Runner" (1982). Nel corso della sua carriera, Kristofferson ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui il Grammy Award per la migliore canzone country nel 1970. Le sue canzoni continuano ad essere amate e interpretate da artisti di diverse generazioni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
