one of kris kristofferson’s newer songs . . .

verse 1

Am

ain’t it kinda funny

Am

ain’t it just the way though

Am

ain’t ’cha gettin’ better

E

runnin’ out of time

Am

making pretty music

Am

closer to your feelings

Am

working on the reason

E

running on the rhyme

chorus

Am

heading for the highway

Am

rolling like a river

Am

soaring like an eagle

E

skippin’ like a stone

Am

comin’ from the heartbeat

Am

nothin’ but the truth now

Am

everything is sweeter

E

closer to the bone

( verse 2 )

ain’t afraid of moonlight

ain’t afraid of freedom

love will make you crazy

but your soul will keep you sane

singing to the starlight

over the horizon

open to the pleasure

equal to the pain

( chorus )

heading for the highway

rolling like a river

soaring like an eagle

skippin’ like a stone

comin’ from the heartbeat

nothin’ but the truth now

everything is sweeter

closer to the bone
