McGraw, Tim - Kristofferson Lyrics






I just walked in and you were gone
To your Mama's I suppose
It looks like you won't be back so I thought you ought to know
I found that note you left today it only took you half a page
I'm gonna grab my old guitar take a pencil from the jar and fill in the empty space

[Chorus]
I'm gonna tell you how I feel, straight up genuine and real
Open a bottle of ninety proof and write a song for you like Kristofferson would do

In each line you're gonna hear it's my fault and I miss you
I know it won't be in time it may not even rhyme
But it has to be is true

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]

I'm gonna drink this bottle of ninety proof and sing this song for you
Like Kristofferson would do

    Luke Brian

  36. L.... O....

    right on don!

  37. D.... S....

    I'd much rather listen to this,over any of that bullshit that Luke Bryan or Taylor Swift has out.

    D.... S....

    At least Taylor writes all of her own songs, Luke is so not country, but that;s just my opinion.

    D.... S....

    Are you drunk?

    D.... S....

    Congrats on your 3rd being on the way btw... But check out my link I posted.. It's no biggie but the rumors of her songs being written for her is a big fat lie... American media, what can ya do..

    D.... S....

    Haha yep.. So I don't get it nor do I care much, but why do you keep calling her a dude? Haha

  38. t.... ....

    Steel guitar, piano , and great harmonies. Can't believe McGraw did this . Definitely a country tune . Sad it never got much air play though . Bring Back Country Music......PLEASE.

  39. j.... ....

    Damn great drinking song

    j.... ....

  40. j.... g....

  42. b.... ....

    Great song!

  43. J.... C....

    hell I'd drink my life away if I had the money

  44. S.... ....

    This is not beer drinking music. Calls for whiskey.

    S.... ....

    Hell yeah I’m pounding the bourbon right now screaming
    This song all by my lonesome . Got a free night from the woman dogs and friends and job and I’m hanging out only with Jimmy Beam. Hell yeah great song okay I’m stopping now . Great song though hell yeah.

  45. I.... M....

  53. J.... B....

    AGREED!!

  54. D.... P....

    i'm not real sure i could pass a field sobriety test after listening to that...but its damn good!!!

  55. L.... C....

    this is an awesome song that should be played... it is one of the best songs Tim McGraw has done...

  56. M.... ....

    eric the midget is why I'm here

  57. s.... ....

    why did he NOT release this song???? Epic.

  58. r.... ....

    @RamblinMan1025 ABSOLUTELY, well said.

  59. r.... ....

    @MegaDANBOB I have to agree, this is much more country than anything he's had in a while. I love real country(steel guitars, dobros, fiddle), Nashville seems to be going away from that. :(

  60. m.... ....

    love dis song so a break up song................

  61. j.... ....

    @PapaWoody024
    Crown is also good with Budlight,lol.

  62. S.... ....

    Check out my page for some good music =)

  63. M.... Z....

    who could dislike this man oh i know some one with no taste !!!!!!!!

  64. S.... K....

    This is an awesome song. Tim has had alot of music hit the airwaves that is good, but I listen to his music and the great stuff never sees any or hardly any airplay. WTG TIm.

  65. J.... ....

    @RamblinMan1025 Please don't forget George Jones & Charley Pride!

  66. j.... ....

    Damn good drinking song!!!!!!!

  67. k.... ....

    @AgentAshcroft I don't, So there.....

  68. s.... ....

    @raptorman120 Chesney, who else?

  69. G.... ....

    watch dont fish and drive!

  70. s.... d....

    kristofferson: in the top 5 most important figures in country songwriting...

  71. M.... R....

    this song would have been neat with a video. I could see Tim doing this. with Faith leaving in the back ground. he and Faith do great videos together.

  72. N.... ....

    @GymStar2007GSG In all honesty I think this is exactly the type of song hag or waylon would do......i've listened to both of them for years, this is a diamond among coal, in terms of real country in an era of bubblegum pop country and southern rock disguised as country

  73. D.... M....

    Hands down... Best Song

  74. c.... ....

    You said it partner. You may not be big on Mexican music either. Although, there is that one song that'll get you. That's music. It will never change....

  75. P.... P....

    i seriously come on here and listen to this song multiple times a day. everyday. and im not that big on country. this song never gets old.

  76. d.... ....

    This is a GREAT TRUE COUNTRY song! I wish Tim would put out more like this!

  77. m.... ....

    Great Country song.!! Enough said.

  78. m.... ....

    PLAYA SONG...

  85. 6.... ....

    Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney,they got good country songs but they don't get air play you got to get the cd to find them. example Shotgun Rider on this cd.

  86. k.... j....

    You say HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL-I say George Strait
    You say KEVIN JONAS -I say Kenny Chesney
    You say SNOOP DOG- Brad Paisley
    You say BRITNEY SPEARS- I say Brooks & Dunn
    You say SOULJA BOY- John Rich
    You say RAP- I say Country!
    you say POP- I say Yee Haw.!
    92% of teens have turned to pop and rap,
    if your one the 8% who like listening to country then peace copy and paste to 3 videos

  88. k.... ....

    Yeah, you're right. I'm a teen and I love country.

  89. m.... ....

    To those who say this isn't real country or barely country---why are you listening? I LOVE THIS SONG and I love everything from Hank to
    Elvis, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Waylon....Need I go on?

  90. n.... g....

    You have to look at where a person is from to know wheather they are country or not, you take some 20year old black guy from my samll iowa town and compare him to some ass licking rich kid from hollywood and see who is country

  91. J.... C....

    Tim....HA tons Of great songs But the song he sings rap Sucks

  92. P.... ....

    sorry but if Tim McGraw isn't Country, then country isn't more then fucking shit. He's brilliant. I'm sure there are many mnore great countrysingers but you can't ever say that Tim isn't.

  93. 6.... ....

    HAHAHAHA!! Pretty good.

  94. M.... R....

    i wish he would have done a video for this song. I really like it.

  95. b.... ....

    is this a remake of a hank jr song jw?

  96. I.... ....

    why cant i see the video

    just moved new area Ug
