Píseň: Out Of Mind Out Of Sight

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Jesus Was A Capricorn
Buddy tip your bottle back and climb aboard the bus join your brothers in the van
 You ain't bum in Birmingham and you ain't one of us we don't really give a damn


 London is a hundred miles away from where we're at and a thousand years behind
 Splitin' from the sorry gag that left us feeling flat out of sight and out of mind
 Cruisin' through the country side we'll never see again ain't it lonesome out tonight
 We've been on this road now since I can't remember when
 Out of mind and out of sight
 Buddy tip your bottle back...


 Yeah I've been everywhere and I've seen any thing there is but I never saw the light
 Scared to death of dyin' so I do my best to live out of mind and out of sight
 Knowing no one nowhere's gonna miss us when we're gone
 Let's keep drinkin' till we're blind
 Everybody's sleeping and I'm stuck inside a song out of sight and out of line
 Some day when it's over and it's time to settle down and we've left it all behind
 We can sit and wonder how we've ever got around
 Out of sight and out of mind out of sight and out of mind
