Píseň: Closer To The Bone

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Closer To The Bone
Ain't it kinda funny Ain't it just the way though
 Ain't 'cha gettin' better Runnin' out of time
 Making pretty music Closer to your feelings
 Working on the reason Running on the rhyme


 Heading for the highway Rolling like a river
 Soaring like an eagle Skippin' like a stone
 Comin' from the heartbeat Nothin' but the truth now
 Everything is sweeter Closer to the bone


 Ain't afraid of moonlight Ain't afraid of freedom
 Love will make you crazy But your soul will keep you sane
 Singing to the starlight Over the horizon
 Open to the pleasure Equal to the pain


 Heading for the highway Rolling like a river
 Soaring like an eagle Skippin' like a stone
 Comin' from the heartbeat Nothin' but the truth now
 Everything is sweeter Closer to the bone
