New Mister Me
Kris Kristofferson
[Intro] [Verse] The moment that you saw him you just looked the other way The blood within his eye was like a curse He had two heavy pistols which were greased up and ready And a face like Bobby Dylan’s only worse He ordered up a whiskey which he drank like he was thirsty Ordered him another of the same Suddenly the silence of the frozen room was shattered By a kid who shot before he called his name He looked up at his killer from the floor where he had fallen Said well look what you have gone and done to me He said son I think you blew it but you’re truly welcome to it You can be the new mister me yeah [Chorus] You can be the new mister me me me Ain’t it true that’s what you want to be yessiree-bob And I’ll be somewhere sunny where it’s funny and it’s free And you can be the new mister me [Verse] Well I was there the day they say that Bobby Dylan died You and I both know he got away He’s out there stealin horses really learnin’ how to ride He’s the reason I am free today singin’ [Chorus] You gotta run like you’ve never run before Up ahead there’s so much more Than the life you left behind You gotta go throw caution to the wind You’ll never get this chance again You’ll find a new place to hide Starting over for the last time [Outro]
