I was just a young man workin' steady in a good time band
Pickin' every single little lick I could just to please the man
Harlan sang the lead for half and we split up the rest
Hangin' on through the heavy times and hopin' for the best
I can't recall the names of all them places that we played in
All them squirrely party girls and pills we used to pop
Hardly ever sleepin' in them cheap motels we stayed in
Hopin' we could take it till we make it to the top
And them nights got a little bit brighte
And them bars got a little bit better
And the sweet (in the sweet by and by) just a little bit sweeter
But them blues well it's still the same old song
Now we're stars a shinin' on them prime-time TV shows
Every stranger knows our name in ever-little-where we go
Findin' out the bottom ain't so diffrent on the top
Just a few more friends that you'll be losin' when you drop
And I left some of my soul on every sweaty sheet I could sleep on
Gettin' just as close to anybody as I could
I don't regret a single bed I've laid my body down on
Ever since the first I had the worst I had was good
And them nights get a little bit brighter
And them bars get a little bit better
And the sweet (in the sweet by and by) just a little bit sweeter
But them blues well it's still the same old song
Kris Kristofferson (born Christopher Kristofferson on June 22, 1936) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor of Swedish descent. Considered one of the pillars of American country music, he has influenced generations of artists with his introspective and poetic songs that explore themes such as rural life, love, loss, and social struggle. After a military career and a brief period of study at Oxford University, Kristofferson moved to Nashville in 1966 to pursue music. He initially worked as a songwriter for other artists before emerging with his debut album "Kristofferson" (1970). His success came with songs like "Me and Bobby McGee", performed by Janis Joplin, and "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", which became a country classic. Kristofferson has collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, contributing to defining the outlaw country movement of the 1970s. Besides music, he has acted in numerous films, including "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (1973) and "Blade Runner" (1982). Throughout his career, Kristofferson has won numerous awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1970. His songs continue to be loved and performed by artists of diverse generations.
