My daddy was a charmer, boys, he had a lot of style
He was shining best at everything he did
They said that he could lighten up a room with just a smile
And I was proud as hell to be his kid
It seemed like just as we were growing close together he was gone
But it was long enough to show what I could be
And I sometimes feel his spirit fill my body like a song
And this is what my daddy sings to me
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'cause the heart is all that matters in the end
They say every song is sweeter when you sing it from the heart
I won't knock it 'cause I tried it and it's true
I may never get to heaven, but I've seen a lot of stars
And I'm here to bring the same advice to you.
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'Cause the heart is all that matters in the end
Yes, the heart is all that matters in the end
The heart is all that matters in the end
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.
