Jako syn generálmajora amerického letectva vyrůstal na různých vojenských základnách v Texasu a Kalifornii. Od dětství byl obdivovatelem hudby country (Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie) a v jedenácti letech složil první písně. Navštěvoval Pomona...

Píseň: Stranger

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Who's To Bless And Who's To Blame
Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror
 Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned
 Singin' every sad song on the juke-box one more time
 Honey, they were hittin' close to home


 And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy
 Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do
 But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time
 I'd sure like to spend the night with you


 And she said - Stranger
 Shut out the light and lead me
 Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
 And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
 Stranger, could I believe in you


 Maybe you got all you got together
 Maybe you keep rollin' like a stone
 Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise
 And leave you just a little more alone


 Singing - Stranger
 Shut out the light and lead me
 Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
 And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
 Stranger, could I believe in you


 Keep Singing - Stranger
 Shut out the light and lead me
 Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too
 And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me
 Stranger, could I believe in you
