Closer to the Bone (Acoustic Demo) Lyrics
(Kris Kristofferson)
Ain't a kind of funny
Ain't a-just away, though
Ain't you getting' better
Runnin' out of time (runnin' out of time)
Ain't you heard the music (ain't you heard the music)
Hold stern to your feelin'
We're ridin' on a water
Workin' on a visa (workin' on a visa)
Runnin' on all right
Headin' for the highway
Rollin' like a river
So we're like an eagle (so we're like an eagle)
Skippin' like a stone
-Each got a-singin' now-
Comin' from the heartbeat (comin' from the heartbeat)
Nothin' but the blues now
Everything is sweeter
Closer to the bone (closer to the bone)
-Vocal accompaniment-
Ain't afraid of moonlight
Ain't afraid of freedom
Nothin' makes us crazy
So to say
Gazin' to the starlight
Over the horizon
Open to the pleasure
Either to the pain
Headin' for the highway
Rollin' like a - rollin' like a river
So we're like an eagle
Skippin' like a stone
Comin' from the heartbeat
Nothin' but the blues now
Everything is sweeter
Closer to the bone - hey - hey
(Maybe, we make it a little - yeah - you want me - yeah, all right)
