Kris Kristofferson - I May Smoke Too Much Lyrics






Once my future was shiny as the
Seat of my pants are today
Then old mother luck and all her
Daughters started duckin' me
When I finally got tired of just sittin' there
Watching my life slip away
I said I better start takin' all the living
That's a-comin' to me

[Chorus:]
Now I love too much, fight too much
Stay out late at night too much
But you bet your butt I'm going to
Live before I die
And I may smoke too much, drink too much
Every blessed thing too much
It's a low-down life, but it ain't gonna pass me by

I don't care if the world don't ever hear
The sound of my name
And old mother luck and all her daughters
Keep a-duckin' me
As long as that cat that I gotta look at when
I shave ain't ashamed
There ain't no Jody in the world
I'd ever rather be.

[Chorus:]
Now I love too much, fight too much
Stay out late at night too much
But you bet your butt I'm going to
Live before I die
And I may smoke too much, drink too much
Every blessed thing too much
It's a low-down life, but it ain't gonna pass me by

    Please could you tell me which films the clips at 1.10 and 1.18 are from. Thank you so much for all your posts.

    1:10 is "Miracle in the wilderness" and 1:18 is "Semi-tough"

  7. T.... ....

    This is terrific and the way the film clips fit the words is amazing. I've just found a song called Sweet Temptation, he sang with Laurie Morgan. Again he is funny but is telling us how he straightened himself out. Love both songs.

    @CocoPink44 Kris was born into a military family. He was about becoming a major. It would have taken him just two more years in the army to receive that rank. And he was going to teach English literature at West Point.That was meant to be a secure life for him and his little family of three in the eyes of his parents I guess. They couldn't imagine that singers and songwriters could make their living too. Long story...
    Listen to him in this song...
