Alan Charles Stewart - The Real Secret of Kris Kristofferson lyrics

The Real Secret of Kris Kristofferson 1. so here's the real secret of Kris Kristofferson as revealed by one Bobby McGee (tell the story) "well, I've never stood right by his side or been to Baton Rouge you see and I never thumbed a diesel down just before it rained and if I'd wanted New Orleans (why) I would've hopped down there in a plane CHORUS say Kris Kristofferson I'd love to share your pain but if I'd wanted New Orleans I would've hopped a plane 2. no I never stood beside him near those black Kentucky mines or ever been to California where the sun forever shines it's a shame about Salinas though or better still Carmel to fall in love and settle there would have suit me rather well CHORUS tell me Kris Kristofferson why Salinas not Carmel to fall in love and settle there would've suit me rather well 3. and if you think I saw his old harpoon wrapped up in a dirty bandana I'll have you know I'm a Christian girl not long from Indiana why would I ever want to sing the blues to the rhythm of a wiper blade I'd sooner hum my John Denver songs so I would not feel so afraid CHORUS please Kris Kristofferson don't give me no wiper blades I'd sooner be singin my Anne Murray tunes if it's all the same INSTRU-MENTAL VERSE 4. I feel a wee bit sorry though I never heard him blowin sad but I guess I could've used a key change if it was the only harp he had yeah I could have stood beside him shared the secrets of his soul I could've stood him a motel room just to keep him from the cold CHORUS sorry Kris Kristofferson about the secrets of your soul I guess I could've stood you a motel room just to keep you from the cold 5. he said freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose but I don't think he really meant it cos we've all got to pay our dues to earn the right to make our place but are we ever really free and maybe right there you just heard the real secret of Mr Kris and Bobby McGee CHORUS say Kris Kristofferson are we ever really free maybe right there we'll find the real secret of you and Bobby McGee END CHORUSES Mr Kris Kristofferson don't you feel so bad cos you know I was the best friend that you never had But hey Kris Kristofferson don't you feel so bad cos you know I was the best goddamned friend that you never, never, never that you never had"
