The Junkie And The Juicehead, Minus Me - Kris Kristofferson [00:00:01]
Written by:Kris Kristofferson[00:00:03]
I was a stumble bummin' down[00:00:05]
The neon Music City sidewalks[00:00:07]
With the Junkie and the Juicehead[00:00:10]
Who had problems of their own[00:00:13]
Stuck with luck it kept me standin' just[00:00:16]
A step away from starvin'[00:00:19]
And the talent that I swore I'd show[00:00:22]
Before I'd go back home[00:00:25]
Ninety days I looked the army makin'[00:00:29]
Neither love nor money[00:00:32]
And my only set of clothes was gettin'[00:00:35]
Closer to the bone[00:00:38]
And the Junkie placed an order with[00:00:40]
The Prophet on the corner[00:00:44]
And he told him of the soul that he'd[00:00:46]
Been sellin' for a song[00:00:49]
He said my future was my fortune[00:00:53]
But I let it slip away[00:00:56]
Slowly smokin' myself broke on[00:00:59]
Eighty cigarettes a day[00:01:02]
Findin' out that crime ain't all[00:01:05]
There is that doesn't pay[00:01:08]
And writin' words that no one's[00:01:11]
Gonna see and did you said it who said it[00:01:13]
I can read my fortune in the bottom of a glass[00:01:17]
And I can see it's time for me[00:01:22]
To make my last request[00:01:25]
Won't you fill my grave with whiskey[00:01:28]
When I'm laid away to rest[00:01:30]
So the boys can say I drank myself to dead[00:01:33]
Well I drank the whole thing over[00:01:42]
Puttin' one and two together[00:01:45]
And it added up to more of[00:01:48]
What I didn't want to be[00:01:50]
I ain't blamin' Music City but it's only gonna see me[00:01:53]
One more day and the wake up[00:01:59]
And the time it takes to leave[00:02:02]
Cause I got a dirty picture of[00:02:06]
What could have been my future[00:02:09]
In a Prophet pushin' day dreams[00:02:11]
On a corner for a fee[00:02:14]
And the wino lookin' lonely[00:02:17]
At a bottle gettin' empty[00:02:20]
And a hungry lookin' junkie[00:02:23]
Huntin' tea in sympathy[00:02:26]
And I bet that junkie's laughin' after[00:02:30]
The life he threw away[00:02:33]
Slowly smokin' himself broke[00:02:36]
On eighty cigarettes a day[00:02:38]
Pleadin' down the Prophet to a price that he can pay[00:02:42]
And writin' words that no one's[00:02:47]
Gonna see but did you said it who said it[00:02:50]
Every empty bottle is my private crystal ball[00:02:54]
And starin' into the future findin' nothin' there at all[00:02:58]
Which is what I'll miss tomorrow[00:03:04]
When the neon shadows fall[00:03:07]
On the Junkie and the Juicehead minus me[00:03:10]
