You Show Me Yours (And I'll Show You Mine)

If you're feeling salty I'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothin' sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours fun and I'll show you mine

No ma'am I know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings of your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
God knows I've been there before you and I understand

And if you're feeling salty I'm your tequila...

I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't got a thing but a change of direction
Lord don't you know you'd be something I'm lucky to find

So if you're feeling salty I'm your tequila...
You show me yours fun and I'll show you mine

Killing Time

See that long line of people who keep standin' in the rain
Looking tired gettin' cold
And that signal light they waitin' for don't ever seem to change
Killing time ain't it slow

Watch them bending with the burden of the pennies that they save
Marking time growin' old
Slowly marchin' by the numbers to the freedom of the grave
Killing time ain't it slow

That's the closest thing to living that they're ever gonna know
And their good times ain't no better than their bad
Cause they think they need a signal light to tell 'em they can go
Killing time ain't it sad
[ guitar ]
Don't feel sorry for those people who keep standin' in the rain
They don't mind they don't know
Cause it never crossed their minds they got a reason to complain
Killing time ain't it slow

They're not haunted by the visions that they never dared to see
And they'll never miss the dreams they've never had
They're condemned to go on living in a penitentiary
For killing time ain't it sad

Prisoner

Thanking you for openining my eyes so clear
Sweeping old illusions from my soul
But most of all for turning something simple and sincere
Into somethin' jaded and as jive as rock and roll

Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word
That I've made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
Till I saw the prisoner wall was me

See the soul who calls itself a prisoner
Cause it's still too frightened to be free
I feel so much older now and wiser
Ain't it sad how lonesome that can be
[ guitar ]
Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word...

Eddie The Eunuch

Eddie the Eunuch was a weasel nasty as an old man's nose
Makin' believin' he was evil struttin' in his mama's clothes

So you know that Eddie had a bad connection baby never had a chance to ball
Sleepin' in the wrong direction baby dreamin' he was ten feet tall

Eddie the Eunuch is a rock and roll critic suckin' like a super star
Slicker than a shoe-shine quicker than a two-time Eddie what a thing you are
[ guitar ]
Eddie makes a damn good livin' baby puttin' other people down
Eddie couldn't ever forgive them baby cause he wasn't Jackson Browne

Eddie the Eunuch is a rock and roll critic suckin' like a super star...

It's Never Gonna Be The Same Again

Kris Kristofferson

© Resaca Music, BMI

All we've ever owed each other for the time we spent together
Was the right to know it's over when it's gone
What it wasn't doesn't matter and it still don't feel no better
Just to know who done who righteously or wrong

Lord I wish that I could say I could see a single way
That we could take it back to where it used to be
Before the daylight broke to pieces
Everything I used to make believe

And it's never gonna be the same again
I'm sorry we can't even still be friends
Trusting you has left some wounds that time ain't gonna mend
And it's a never gonna be the same again
[ guitar ]
It's a shame to know it's over and you're nothing but another
Pretty thing that I don't do before I die
But the saddest part of all is never knowin'
If you'll ever even wonder why

And it's never gonna be the same again...
Oh you can't never gonna be the same again

I Got A Life Of My Own

Kris Kristofferson

I said I got a life of my own
I've got a life of my own

I said don't try to make me a part of no plan
Take me or leave me alone
Freedom's a feeling that few understand
I got a life of my own

I said I oughta know where to sow my own seeds
And when I oughta leave it alone
Trouble's an old friend that I didn't need then
And I had a wife of my own

I said I got a life of my own
I said I've got a life of my own

I caught a beer bottle flat in the face
It laid me back to the bone
Hate is a flavor that's ugly to taste
And I had a knife of my own

Now they leave me alone and alive by myself
Lost in the steel and the stone
Hoping for heaven and headin' for hell
I got a life of my own

I said I got a life of my own
I got a life of my own
I got a life of my own
I got a life of my own

Stranger I Love

Kris Kristofferson

I've been a simple man and I've been insane
And I've been a vagabond and I've been a king yeah
But I've been a better man just trying to please the stranger I love

Lost in a wilderness darker than pain
Drawn to her loneliness just like a flame
The closer we come the more that I lean the stranger I love

Bad as I loved her I ain't afraid
We'll be together some lovin' way
I'll be her lover just as long as I can
Then when it's over she'll need a friend

So I'll take her hand-me-downs I'll take the blame
I'll be a hang around I ain't ashamed
Cause the longer I love her the more I believe the stranger I love

Golden Idol

Kris Kristofferson

Well they've made a golden idol of a girl you used to be
Hangin' bangles on your branches like a lonely Christmas tree
Yeah they've dressed you fit for killin' in your thrillin' new disguise
Nailin' artificial spangles to the diamonds in your eyes

In the golden coach that turns into a bed
You better make it girl before you wake up dead
Cause they'll paint your burning beauty with a coat of shiny lies
And they'll blind you with their wine so you won't even realize

Till you watch the face you're washin' disappearin' down the drain
And you're staring in your mirror going privately insane
In that golden crown they've pushed down on your head
You better make it girl before you wake up dead

Look around them golden sidewalks that you're walking on today
And you'll see that lonely gutter just a careless step away
And the altar that they're building you don't even understand
Cause they're dazzled by the flashing of the daggers in their hands

We'll be dancing in the darkness when their music disappears
And the jangle of your chains will be the only sound you hear
Till your broken body's bleedin' on an altar made of stone
And you've sacrificed your soul to please a world that's sick and wrong
Cause you never heard a single word I said
Oh make it girl before you wake up dead

Bad Love Story

Kris Kristofferson

© Resaca Music, BMI

Once again you tried to show me what my eyes refused to see
In the lines between the painful scene we're in
With the silence falling coldly on a world of make believe
And the ending that I still don't understand

It's a bad love story that I've had to learn my heart
Cause I've lived these lines so many times before
And it's a shame the way the same old ending still tears me apart
Where the lady still don't love me anymore
[ piano ]
I can see the truth before me like a mirror on the wall
With a crack or two for ever fool I've been
And I see the lady waitin' for her count down curtain calls
And it's looking like the place that I came in

It's a bad love story that I've had to learn my heart...

It's a shame the way the same old ending still tears me apart
Where the lady still don't love me anymore

If You Don't Like Hank Williams (Kiss MyAss)

Kris Kristofferson

© Resaca Music, BMI

I dig Bobby Dylan and I dig Johnny Cash
And I think Waylon Jennings is a table thumpin' smash
Hearin' Joni Mitchell feels as good as smokin' grass
If you don't like Hank Williams honey you can kiss my ass

Cause I think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand
[ guitar ]
I said I dig Roger Miller Merle Haggard George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them rockin' Rolling Stones
Each thing new them Eagles do is better than their last
And if you don't like Hank Williams honey you can kiss my ass

Cause I think what they've done is well worth doin'...
One more time now I think what they've done...
