Kris Kristofferson Lyrics
"Maybe You Heard"

(Kris Kristofferson)

Maybe you've heard your ole buddy's gone crazy
Searching for words too deep sweet reason and rhyme
Livin' alone more and more and he's prone to be lazy
Turnin' to stone blasted and blind.

Don't turn away there hey god-damn you it was your brother
Turn on your father sister mother brother he was your friend
Don't you condemn him leave it to strangers
You oughta know him give him a hand if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand him.

--- Instrumental ---

Maybe you've heard that they say that the lady's been changin'
Day after day more than her mind
Learnin' to play where the part has her turning to strangers
Goin' too far line after line.

Don't turn away there hey god-damn you it was your brother
Turn on your father sister mother brother he was your friend
Don't you condemn him leave it to strangers
You oughta know him give him a hand if you can
But at least for Jesus Christ's sake understand him...
