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 (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.
