Kristofferson's Echo: A Whiskey-Soaked Song of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
I just walked in and you were gone
I entered the room and discovered you were not there.
To your mama's I suppose
I assume you went to your mother's place.
It looks like you won't be back, so I thought you'd ought to know
It seems like you won't return, so I wanted to inform you.
I found that note you left today
I came across the note you left today.
It only took you half a page
Your message was brief, just half a page.
I'm gonna grab my old guitar, take a pencil from the jar, fill in the empty space
I'll use my old guitar, take a pencil, and complete the empty space.
[Chorus:]
[Chorus]
I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight-up genuine and real
I will express my emotions honestly, sincerely, and authentically.
Open a bottle of ninety-proof and write a song for you
I'll open a bottle of ninety-proof alcohol and compose a song for you.
Like Kristofferson would do
In the style that Kris Kristofferson, a renowned songwriter, would do.
In each line you're gonna hear "it's my fault" and "I miss you"
Each line of the song will acknowledge my mistakes and express missing you.
I know it won't be in time, it may not even rhyme
It may not be timely, and the lyrics may not necessarily rhyme.
But all it has to be is true
However, it only needs to be sincere and true.
I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight-up genuine and real
I will continue expressing my feelings genuinely and authentically.
Open a bottle of ninety-proof and write a song for you
Once again, I'll open a bottle of ninety-proof and craft a song for you.
Like Kristofferson would do
In the manner that Kris Kristofferson would approach it.
I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight-up genuine and real
I'll reiterate my feelings sincerely and genuinely.
Open a bottle of ninety-proof and write a song for you
Once more, I'll open a bottle of ninety-proof and compose a song for you.
Like Kristofferson would do
In the style reminiscent of Kris Kristofferson.
I'm gonna drink this bottle of ninety-proof and sing this song for you
I will consume this bottle of ninety-proof and perform this song for you.
Like Kristofferson would do
In the manner that Kris Kristofferson would approach a performance.
