Kris Kristofferson - The Heart Lyrics
My daddy was a charmer, boys, he had a lot of style
He was shining best at everything he did
They said that he could lighten up a room with just a smile
And I was proud as hell to be his kid
But it was long enough to show what I could be
And I sometimes feel his spirit fill my body like a song
And this is what my daddy sings to me
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'cause the heart is all that matters in the end
I won't knock it 'cause I tried it and it's true
I may never get to heaven, but I've seen a lot of stars
And I'm here to bring the same advice to you.
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'cause the heart is all that matters in the end
Yes, the heart is all that matters in the end
The heart is all that matters in the end

Amo, simplesmente...
what an awesome man
its a great gift to be able to find words like that and put them into a song
like Kris I loved my old man but could never tell him that. We fought a lot and truth of it was that he saw me heading down a road of addiction and pain. ( and just typical father son stuff) When he passed I had finally put it all together and his spirit still guides me.The genius of Kris is that he is able to awaken so much stuff in us ( relationship stuff, political issues, social issues etc). I don't always agree with his politics ( not does he want us to) but he makes me think, talk about it, and search for my own truth. His lyrics are so simple yet they go as deep as an oil well.
Tommy Petersen KK is a 20th century William Shakespeare.No one living puts words and phrases together as well as Kris. Supreme story teller and poet.
Tommy Petersen that's why I love this song. He sang it to perfection for me (my own opinion) reason why? Because I at the most important time, I needed a song to most kick me in the ass, to keep me from feeling the loss too much to even give a shit if I died or not, I heard " heart" and I said, let's hear this last man's opinion of nothing matters, not even the heart,in the negative or positive way and see if " Dad's" way was right or if he had been fooled or not like I was starting to believe because all my life everyone who got to know me ended up calling me crazy, didn't bother me until the big final fight to decide,and I myself,love and trust My Way,or God's way, more and more each time I hear crazy, Dad's belief? if you don't believe it already,then maybe one more opinion positive or negative might one day " beat the Devil" so to speak, "Common Sense" (" think about it,Chillun") last tribute to Kristofferson and thank you for writing it.
It's hard to believe I've never h3ard this song till about a month ago. great song written by a great man
