Why Me Lyrics

Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I’ve known?
Tell me, Lord, what did I ever do to be worthy
Of You and the kindness you’ve shown?

Lord help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I’ve needed you
So help me, Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

Try me, Lord, if you think there’s a way
I can try to repay all I’ve taken from you
Maybe, Lord, I can show someone else
What I’ve been through myself on my way back to you

Lord help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I’ve needed you
So help me, Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

[Outro]
Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

Me and Bobby McGee Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin’ for the train
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was playing soft
While Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin’ time
I was holdin’ Bobby’s hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew


Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free
Feelin’ good was easy, Lord,
When he sang the blues
And feelin’ good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


From Kentucky coal mines
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, Lord
Through everything I done
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope he’ll find it
And I’d trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine


Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ left is all that Bobby left me
Feelin good was easy, Lord
When he sang the blues
And buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Willie Nelson &The Highwaymen – “City of New Orleans” Live at Nassau Coliseum, 1990)

By

On August 6, 2024

In Country Music

Watch this beautiful performance of The Highwaymen, led by Willie Nelson of the song “City of New Orleans.” This song is Willie Nelson’s thirty-first studio album released by Columbia Records. The title track was written and originally recorded by Steve Goodman. Willie Nelson’s version topped the U.S. country singles chart. Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings joined Willie on stage to render us this masterpiece!

Willie Nelson is a country music icon. A unique and versatile artist, his innovative songwriting has resulted in No. 1 hits for dozens of artists – including more than twenty for himself – and a recorded output that is “so vast,” music journalist Bob Allen writes, “as to confound all but the most dedicated discographers.”

Willie Nelson’s awards are numerous, including 11 CMAs, 12 GRAMMYs, and 6 ACMs. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993, received the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 1999, and won the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize in 2015. In 2003, CMT placed him at No. 4 among the “Greatest Men of Country.” And, in 2008, his distinctive vocal style – once considered a deficit – earned him the No. 88 spot on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.

City of New Orleans Lyrics

Song by The Highwaymen

Ridin’ on the City of New Orleans
Illinois Central, Monday mornin’ rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
Three conductors and 25 sacks of mail

All along the southbound odyssey, the train pulls out from Kankakee
And rolls along past houses, farms and fields
And Passin’ trains that have no names and freight yards full of old black men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

Good mornin’ America, how are you?
Say don’t you know me? I’m your native son!
I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans
And I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

Dealin’ cards with the old men in the club car
Penny a point, there ain’t no one keepin’ score
And pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels grumblin’ neath the floor

And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers’ magic carpet made of steel
And mothers with their babes asleep, rockin’ to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

Good mornin’ America, how are you?
Say don’t you know me? I’m your native son!
I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans
And I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changin’ cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home, we’ll be there by mornin’
Through the Mississippi darkness rollin’ down to the sea

But the towns and the people seem to fade into a bad dreams
And the steel rail still ain’t heard the news
Conductor sing your songs again
And passengers will please refrain
This train has got the disappearin’ railroad blues

Good mornin’ America, how are you?
Don’t you know me? I’m your native son!
I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans
And I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
And I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done
And I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done

“Good Morning John” – A Kris Kristofferson Tribute Song To Friend Johnny Cash (Live Performance)

By

On August 6, 2024

In Country Music

Watch Kris Kristofferson performs on stage a song that he wrote entitled “Good Morning John” in response to his good friend Johnny Cash’s ongoing struggle with addiction. At a party celebrating Cash’s sobriety, friends were invited to write a letter, but Kristofferson chose to write a song instead.

“Everyone was supposed to say something inspirational, so I wrote a song,” Kristofferson tells Billboard. “I tried to record this once before with Wilie Nelson and my band. When I sang the chorus, they echoed me when I would sing “Good morning John.” When I got to the line that said “I love you, John,” Willie said “He loves you, John,” and we all cracked up laughing. We never finished it, so I finished it myself.”

“Kristoffer “Kris” Kristofferson (born June 22, 1936) is an American country music singer, songwriter, musician, and film actor. Born in Brownsville, Texas, he attended Pomona College, where he achieved a degree in literature and specialised in the poetry of Blake. Whilst at college, he published a series of short stories in Atlantic Monthly, and went on to win a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford.
It was in 1958, during his stay in England, that Kristofferson first performed his own music, under the pseudonym ‘Kris Carson’. After graduating from Oxford, Kristofferson served in the US army for five years and, upon being discharged, turned down a teaching post in order to pursue his music career in Nashville.

Good Morning John Lyrics

Kris Kristofferson

Good Morning, John!
Ain’t it great to see your future shining brighter in the naked light of day?
Ain’t it great to see your future shining brighter than the naked light of day?

You maid it, son!
But I confess there was a time or two I thought that you might let it slip away.

I love you, John!
In the cold and holy darkness you were always shining brighter than a star.

God bless you, John!
For the love and joy you’ve given and the living inspiration that you are.

You’ve scared me, John!
‘Cause you crossed so many borders into danger with a price upon your head.

They got you, John!
And it hurts to see so many friends, who ran along beside you lying dead.

I know you, John!
There ain’t nothing you can’t handle now, ’cause there ain’t nothing bigger than your heart.
There ain’t nothing you can’t handle out there ain’t nothing bigger than your heart.

Keep shining, John!
Keep smiling, John!
For you owe it to the others and the dark and holy wonder that you are.

Hang in there, John!
It’s a rocky role to glory, but the strangest and strongest will survive.

Keep smiling, John!
We’ll both make it there tomorrow but today lets say we’re lucky we’re alive.
We won’t make it there tomorrow, but today let’s say we’re lucky we’re alive.

I’ll see you John!
Though the best of good intentions have a way of gettin’ scattered by the wind.

I know you, John!
There ain’t nothing you can’t handle now, ’cause there ain’t nothing bigger than your heart.

I’m leavin’ John!
You can lose your mind and mem’ry but you ain’t gonna lose me as your friend.
I love you, John.
You can lose your mind or memory, but you’ll never lose me as your friend.

Good morning, John!
(Good morning John…)

Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down Lyrics

Kris Kristofferson

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad
So I had one more for dessert

Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
And I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I’d smoked my brain the night before
On cigarettes and songs that I’d been pickin’
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussin’ at a can that he was kicking

Then I crossed the empty street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin’ chicken
And it took me back to somethin’
That I’d lost somehow, somewhere along the way

On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
‘Cause there’s something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel aloneThere ain’t nothin’ short of dyin’
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin’ city sidewalks
Sunday mornin’ comin’ downIn the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin’ little girl who he was swingin’
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
Listened to the song they were singin’

Then I headed back for home
And somewhere far away a lonesome bell was ringin’
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
‘Cause there’s something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone

There ain’t nothin’ short of dyin’
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin’ city sidewalks
Sunday mornin’ comin’ down

On the Sunday morning sidewalk
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
‘Cause there’s something in a Sunday
Makes your body feel alone

There ain’t nothin’ short of dyin’
Half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin’ city sidewalks
Sunday mornin’ comin’ down

The Pilgrim, Chapter 33 Lyrics

Song by Kris Kristofferson

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin’ yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they was goin’ outta style
And he keeps right on a’changin’ for the better or the worse,
Searchin’ for a shrine he’s never found
Never knowin’ if believin’ is a blessin’ or a curse,
Or if the goin’ up was worth the comin’ down

He’s a poet, he’s a picker
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he’s traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin’ from his devils, lord, and reachin’ for the stars,
And losin’ all he’s loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turnin’ for the better or the worse,
And all he ever gets is older and around
>from the rockin’ of the cradle to the rollin’ of the hearse,
The goin’ up was worth the comin’ down

He’s a poet, he’s a picker
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
There’s a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

This could be our last goodnight together
We may never pass this way again
Just let me enjoy ’till its over

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday this may be all
That we’ll remember
Of each other
Please don’t tell me how the story ends

Never’s just the echo of forever
Lonesome as the love that might have been
Just let me go on loving and believing

Thank You for a Life Lyrics

Song by Kris Kristofferson

Thank you for a life that I’d call happy
Overlooking all that we’ve been through
When it comes to loving I’ve been lucky
Everything I am, I owe to you

Thank you for the little girls you gave me
Thank you for them bouncing baby boys
Thank you for the sadness that you saved me from the madness, baby
All I’m crying now are tears of joy

Thank you for that burning sun that’s rising
Golden in the air that smells so sweet
Thank you for that empty far horizon
That opens to a new eternity

You know I’m grateful for the freedom
And the chances
And every little piece of sweetness
That I’ve known

And I’m grateful for the justice
And the mercy
And all the truth and beauty
I’ve been shown

So thank you for a life that I’d call happy
Overlooking all that we’ve been through
When it comes to loving I’ve been lucky
Everything I am, I owe to you

Song by Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge

If you could see me now
The one who said that he’d rather roam
The one who said he’d rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could make you mine
Just for a while, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

I’ve been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Takin’ any comfort that I can
Lookin’ back and longin’ for the freedom of my chains
Lyin’ in your lovin’ arms again

If you could hear me now (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Singin’ somewhere through a lonely night (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Dreamin’ of the arms that held me tight (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
If you could only hear me now

I’ve been too long in the wind, too long in the rain
Takin’ any comfort that I can
Lookin’ back and longin’ for the freedom of my chains
Lyin’ in your lovin’ arms again

Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Hmm-hmm-hmm (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Here Comes That Rainbow Again Lyrics

Song by Kris Kristofferson

The scene was a small roadside café
The waitress was sweepin’ the floor
Two truck drivers drinkin’ their coffee
And two okie kids by the door

“How much are them candies?” They asked her
“How much have you got?” She replied
“We’ve only a penny between us”
“Them’s two for a penny, ” she lied

And the daylight grew heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again

One truck driver called to the waitress
After the kids went outside
“Them candies ain’t two for a penny”
“So what’s it to you?” She replied
In silence they finished their coffee
Then got up and nodded goodbye
She called, “Hey, you left too much money”
“So what’s it to you?” They replied

And the daylight was heavy with thunder
With the smell of the rain on the wind
Ain’t it just like a human?
Here comes that rainbow again
