Closer To The Bone

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
