Kris Kristofferson [영화배우, 가수]

Mister Marvin Middle Class is really in a stew
Wond'rin' what the younger generation's coming to
And the taste of his martini doesn't please his bitter tongue
Blame it on the Rolling Stones.

Blame it on the Stones; blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

Mother tells the ladies at the bridge club every day
Of the rising price of tranquilizers she must pay
And she wonders why the children never seem to stay at home
Blame it on the Rolling Stones.

Blame it on the Stones; Blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better, knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

Father's at the office, nightly working all the time
Trying to make the secretary change her little mind
And it bothers him to read about so many broken homes
Blame it on those Rolling Stones.

Blame it on the Stones; Blame it on the Stones
You'll feel so much better knowing you don't stand alone
Join the accusation; same the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones

Blame it on the stones, blame it on the stones.

Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below;
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
Of silent desperation, never speakin' to a soul.
The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dying
'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain.
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains.

";Oh!"; she said, ";Casey it's been so long since I've seen you!";
";Here"; she said, ";just a kiss to make a body smile!";
";See"; she said, ";I've put on new stockings just to please you!";
";Lord!"; she said, ";Casey can you only stay a while?";

Casey leaves the under-ground and stops inside the Golden Crown
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone.
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home.
Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
Is the beer that's in his belly, or the tear that's in his eye.

";Oh!"; she said, ";I suppose you seldom think about me,
";Now"; she said, ";now that you've a fam'ly of your own";;
";Still"; she said, ";it's so blessed good to feel your body!";
";Lord!"; she said"; ";Casey it's a shame to be alone!";

I heard the front door closing softly,
as I wakened from my sleep;
With the last touch of her kips, Lord,
like a whisper on my cheek;

And I cursed the sun for risin',
'cause the worst, Lord, was yet to come;
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

See the lipstick on the pillow
that I placed beneath her head;
And the soft sheets still feel warm, Lord,
where she lay upon my bed;

And it hurts to know it's over,
for the hurt, Lord, has just begun.
'Cause this morning, she's just leavin',
but, come sundown, she'll be gone.

See the ruin on the hill
where the smoke is hanging still
Like an echo of an age long forgotten
There's a story of a home
crushed beneath those blackened stones
And the roof that fell
before the beams were rotten

Cecil Darby loved his wife
and he laboured all his life
To provide her with material possessions
And he built for her a home
of the finest wood and stone
And the building soon became his sole obsession

Oh, it took three-hundred days
for the timbers to be raised
And the silhouette was seen for miles around
And the gables reached as high
as the eagles in the sky
But it only took one night to bring it down
When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground

Though they shared a common bed
there was precious little said
In the moments that were set aside for sleepin'
For his busy dreams were filled
with the rooms he'd yet to build
And he never heard young Helen Darby weeping

Then one night he heard a sound
as he laid his pencil down
And he traced it to her door
and turned the handle
And the pale light of the moon
through the window of the room
Split the shadows
where two bodies lay entangled

Oh, it took three-hundred days
for the timbers to be raised
And the silhouette was seen for miles around
And the gables reached as high
as the eagles in the sky
But it only took one night to bring it down
When Darby's castle tumbled to the ground -

Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sun
That brought a new betrayal every day.

He shunned the world of mortals and the sound of human tongues
And blessed the night that chased their sight away.
A disillusioned dreamer who would never love again
Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten.
Prefering perfect strangers to the company of friends
Because strangers are so easily forgotten.

Chorus:
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been decieved.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
With a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.





Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride
Expecting next to nothing out of life.
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died
Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife.
She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control.
Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall.
Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul
Duvalier was a dreamer after all.

Chorus
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been decieved.
To face a lie and dare to try again, but there's nothing like a woman
With a spell of make believe to make a new believer of a man.

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
그토록 슬프게 바라보지 말아요,
난 그것이 끝난 걸 알지만
But life goes on
인생은 계속 흘러 가자나요.
And this old world just keeps on turning
그리고 이 오래된 세상은 계속 돌기만 하네요.

Let's just be glad, we had this time
To spend together
그저 기쁘게 삽시다.
우리에겐 함께보낼 이 시간이 있자나요.
There's no need to watch the bridges
That were burning.
다리들을 바라 볼 필요가 없어요.
그것들은 불타고 있어요.
Lay your head on my pillow
머리를 내 베게위로하고 누우세요
Hold your warm and tender body next to mine
당신의 따뜻하고 부드러운 몸을 붙잡아서 간직할께요.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
속삭이듯 들려오는 빗소리를 들어 보세요.
Beating soft against the window
부드럽게 창가를 두드리고 있네요.
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times.
그리고 믿음을 가지고 날 한번더 사랑해줘요..
좋은 날(시간,시절)을 위해서

I'll get along You'll find another
난 외로울 겁니다, 당신은 또 다른 것을 찾는다면.
And I'll be here if you should find
You ever need me.
그리고 당신이 내가 필요해서 나를 찾고자 한다면,
난 여기서 있을겁니다.
Don't say a word
About tomorrow or forever
내일 또는 영원히에 대해서 단어로 말하지 마세요.
There'll be time enough
For sadness when you leave.
당신이 떠날 때 슬플 수 있는 충분한 시간이 될겁니다.

Don't look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on and this
old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time
to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
that we're burning
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and
tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you
love me one more time
For the good times
I'll get along
you'll find another
And I'll be here
if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word
about tomorrow or forever

속삭이듯 들려오는 빗소리를 들어 보세요.

For the good times.

You ask me if I'm happy now

That's good as any joke I've heard

It seems that since I've seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' of forgettin' you

Well I don't guess that I could say I am


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you


You wonder if I'm better off

With freedom now to do the things I choose

With all my times my own and

I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If I stay out the whole night long

or give a tankerous damn if I don't call

I'm livin' like I wanted to And doin' things I wanna do

And nothin' means a thing to me at all


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

You ask me if I'm happy now

That's good as any joke I've heard

It seems that since I've seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' of forgettin' you

Well I don't guess that I could say I am


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you


You wonder if I'm better off

With freedom now to do the things I choose

With all my times my own and

I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If I stay out the whole night long

or give a tankerous damn if I don't call

I'm livin' like I wanted to And doin' things I wanna do

And nothin' means a thing to me at all


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

You ask me if I'm happy now

That's good as any joke I've heard

It seems that since I've seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' of forgettin' you

Well I don't guess that I could say I am


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you


You wonder if I'm better off

With freedom now to do the things I choose

I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If I stay out the whole night long

or give a tankerous damn if I don't call

I'm livin' like I wanted to And doin' things I wanna do

And nothin' means a thing to me at all


Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds soaked the paper

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

Take the ribbon from my hair
머리의 리본을 떼어보세요
Shake it loose let it fall
머리를 풀어 살며시 늘어뜨려요
Layin' soft up on my skin
벽에 비친 그림자처럼
Like the shadows on the wall
내곁에 살며시 누워 보세요

Come and lay down by my side

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
And i got a life of my own
I said i ought to 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'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
I had a knife of my own

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

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

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

[Chorus:]
'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
I said, I dig Roger Miller, Merle Haggard; George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them rockin' Rollin' Stones
And Jerry Lee's still gotta be the coolest in the class
And if you don't like Hank Williams, honey, you can kiss my ass.

[Chorus:]

'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
Forgot to say John Prine, Neil Young, Lyle Lovett (God bless him), Chris
Gantry, Jerry Jeff Walker, and David Allen Coe...

She would meet me in the mornin' on my way down to the river,
Waiting patient by the China Berry tree;
With her feet already dusty from the pathway to the levee,
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees.
I'd pay her no attention as she tagged along beside me,
Trying hard to copy everything I did;
But I couldn't keep from smiling when I'd hear somebody saying:
"Look a-yonder; there goes Jody and the kid."

After we grew older, we could still be seen together,
As we walked along the levee holding hands;
For as surely as the seasons, she was changin' to a woman,
And I'd lived enough to call myself a man.
And she often lay beside me, in the coolness of the evening,
'Til the morning sun was shining on my bed;
And at times, when she was sleeping,
I would smile when I'd remember,
How they used to call us "Jody and the kid."

Now, the world's a little older, and the years have changed the river,
'cause there's houses where they didn't used to be;
And on Sundays I go walking down the pathway to the levee,
With another little girl who follows me.
And it makes the old folks smile to see her tag along beside me,
Doing little things the way her Mamma did.
But it gets a little lonesome, when I hear somebody saying:
"Look yonder; there goes Jody and the kid."

I've been chasing after Josie since the day I could run
Even though I didn't know it at the time
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind.

She was proud of her young body as a body could be
On her way to be a woman of the world
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl.

Chorus:
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own.

Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place I've never been
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
But someday I may just chase her down again.

Chorus:
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

I come from just the other side of nowhere
To this big time lonesome town.
They got a lot of ice and snow here,
Half as cold as all the people I've found.
Every way I try to go here seems to bring me down.
I've seen about enough to know where I belong.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shining
On that old white line between my heart and home.
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishing they were Mondays

Sittin' in a park alone.
So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong.
Tell 'em that the pride of just the other side o nowhere's
Goin' home.

Takin' nothin' back to show there
For these dues I've paid.
But the soul I almost sold here
And the body I've been givin' away.

Fadin' from the neon nighttime glow here,
Headin' for the light of day,
Just the other side of nowhere, goin' home.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin'
On that old white line between my heart and home.
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishin' they were Mondays,
Sittin' in a park alone.

So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong.

Tell them that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's
Goin' Home.
Just the other side on nowhere, goin' home.

I come from just the other side of nowhere
To this big time lonesome town.

I've seen about enough to know where I belong.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shining
On that old white line between my heart and home.
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishing they were Mondays

Sittin' in a park alone.
So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong.
Tell 'em that the pride of just the other side o nowhere's
Goin' home.

Takin' nothin' back to show there
For these dues I've paid.
But the soul I almost sold here
And the body I've been givin' away.

Fadin' from the neon nighttime glow here,
Headin' for the light of day,
Just the other side of nowhere, goin' home.
I've got a mind to see the headlights shinin'
On that old white line between my heart and home.
Sick of spendin' Sundays wishin' they were Mondays,
Sittin' in a park alone.

So give my best to anyone who's left who ever done me
Any lovin' way but wrong.

Tell them that the pride of just the other side of nowhere's
Goin' Home.
Just the other side on nowhere, goin' home.

I've seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies

Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies

Turning on the world the way she smiles upon my soul as i lay diing

Healing with the colors of the sunshine and the shadow of her eyes

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin

Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that i've been

Teaching me that yesterday was something that i never thought of trying

Talking about tomorrow and the money love and time we'd have to spend

Loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again

Coming close together with a feeling that i've never know before,in my time

She ain't afraid to be a woman or afraid to be a friend

I don't know the answer to the easy way she opens every door in my mind

Dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end

Loving her was easier than anything i'll ever do again

I've seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies

Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies

Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
headin' for the train,
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
just before it rained;

Took us all the way to New Orleans.
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues.
With them windshield wipers slappin' time,
And Bobby clappin' hands,
We finally sang up every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for
nothing' left to lose:
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
Feeling good was easy, Lord,
when Bobby sang the blues.

Feeling good was good enough for me;
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

From the coal mines of
Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me, Lord,
through everything I've done,
Every night she kept me from the cold.

Then somewhere near Salinas,
Lord, I let her slip away,
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find.
And I'd trade all my tomorrows
for a single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word for
nothing' left to lose:
Nothin' left is all she left for me.
Feeling good was easy, Lord,
when Bobby sang the blues.
Buddy, that was good enough for me;
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La da da la la na na na
La da da na na.
La la la da, Me and Bobby McGee.
