  • Beautiful live performance on British Television in 1972 of Kris Kristofferson singing "Loving Her Was Easier" Check out corporalhenshaw for many more clips and documentaries of classic rock, folk, gospel, jazz and blues. Look for Kris in the "singer songwriters of the 70s" playlist.

    It baffles me how a silly little boy can make a record and several million people like it, yet this, by the best ever singer/songwriter/musician/actor doesn't get so many likes. The whole world is going mad.

      Hi Mr. Barnes, it`s currently 2024 and I`m afraid to tell you about how much crazier the multitude is than before. when it comes to good ole hillbilly Country Music they just don't get it. I began with Hello Walls and Ira Hayes when I was 5 so I definitely get it. Plus, it appears that almost all have forgotten how much blood our Nation has sacrificed to ensure our Flag still waves.

      Love’s Fuck Yous, One Twos, and Black & Blues - Lyrics by Jimmy Elliott
      No matter how hard I fight it… or how much that I think.
      I can’t ever find me a good reason… not to take another drink.
      My mama don’t understand it, and people can’t see how I feel.
      That drinkin’ is the truth ‘n forces everyone who’s lyin’ to become real.
      We are who we are… even if we don’t know or understand it.
      But if you want to get to know me… crack a can and let’s shoot the shit.
      I’ve never been a good marksman, I’ve always lost my aim.
      And I feel like the only one who knows… that love and life is a game!
      I don’t know when I lost it, and “it” being my shame.
      But Jimmy is my name, we’re the same, ‘n all I need is another beer, and a dame.
      They say that “life is long, and love sure is fleeting.”
      But if we can somehow, let’s forget that for now, and all take another beating!
      You can say I’m a punk, or a fool who’s just love drunnnnk.
      But love and beer have always lifted me up, no matter what, or how low that I’ve sunk…
      So go on, hit me… c’mon baby, throw another punch!
      No hard feelings and tomorrow… let’s have mimosas with our black eyes over brunch!
      Then we can do it again, and then remember when,
      You were mine and I was yours, before you loved and left me for the other men.
      Your love sure is chaos; it’s hysterical, and baby you are a riot.
      But there’s nothing better than being hurt, but don’t take my word, go on honey and try it!
      It’s only a matter of time, before you lose and are left with a bruise
      But like all things fade, ours will too, we all know that’s old news!
      But I don’t carrrreee, I will still be herrreee
      Laughing; drinkin’;
      Listenin’ to your “fuck yous!”
      duckin’ your ones twos
      and singin’ bout our love’s blacks N’ blues!

    Kris is a very intelligent man, and a great songwriter, musician, and singer. He flew helicopters in the Army, tought literature at West point, and could have been a professor at Oxford where he studied literature, but thank God he chose to write and sing music. He wrote so many songs for so many artists in the music business. I'm so glad I enjoyed his music in my lifetime. Enjoy your retirement Kris.

    About three weeks ago I sent the link to this song to my wife, writing: "Beautiful song. It made me think of you." She wrote back: "Now you did it -- you made me cry. I love you Kev with all my heart." She passed away last week after a sudden heart attack. We played the song at her service yesterday.
    I gather Kris is going through some difficult health issues. I wish I could tell him how much this song means to me now and how much it will mean to me for the rest of my life..

I also gave a small gift to her that says it all, in the same way your song to your wife says the way you feel about her. I gave her a coffee cup with a painting of two cute dogs on it, with their noses touching each other, with love in their eyes and a shape of a love heart floating above them.The caption above reads " loving you is what I do best "

      I saw him at at the stage coach festival, He filled in for Loretta Lynn. That couldn't make, He came out on stage all by yourself. A guitar and a hermonica. He was only supposed to be on stage for about forty five minutes, An hour and a 1/2 later. They started blinking the lights telling him he had to quit. He talked to the audience And most of the songs he sang were ones he wrote. He made you feel like it was a one on one experience,,,, It was awesome.

    This guy is a poet. The way his lyrics sound so simple is not a sign that the lyrics are simple. He has a way of making every song fit every story - sunday morning / darby's castle / bobby mcGee / lovin' her . . / - pick the song, the words just seem to fall together so easily . . . This is not a simple task, it is the sign of a true poet. "well I woke up Sunday mornin' with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt; and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert . . . Eminem would take that rhyme gladly!!

    I'm a disabled Vietnam veteran who loves the magical way he puts words to a song. Charlie Pride stated the same about him. I can sit and listen to his songs all day long. He was a Rhodes scholar, an army helicopter pilot, and great songwriter, and singer of songs. His songs will touch your heart in a way you never thought possible. He was truly a poetic writer of words in a way that that few others could even compare, other than his idol, Hank Williams. Enough said, I salute you Kris !!

    It just doesn't get any smoother than this. This version of him performing his most perfect song is a perfect tribute to a wonderful songwriter, singer & talented entertainer. Makes one want to cry bittersweet tears over such fantastic contributions to the music world he gave us, and the sad realism that all we have now from him, is all we will ever have. I could never get enough of Kris. Wish him much love and well earned relation and family enjoyment. He certainly gave us plenty! Love you Kris.

    “Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin, wiping out the traces of the people and places that I’ve been”. We’ve all been there, finding that one person whose very touch can erase all those you knew before. Love that comes slowly and easily is the best love. Kris Kristofferson is one of the most talented song writers in existence. He has that rare gift of putting our thoughts and our lives into words and making us realize we’re not so alone in our struggles and triumphs.

    I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies

    Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
    Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
    Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I"ve been
    Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
    Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend
    Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
    Coming close together
    With a feeling that I'd never known before in my time
    She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
    I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
    But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
    Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again.

    Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
    Turning on the world, the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
    Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
    Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
    Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I"ve been
    Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
    Talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend
    Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
    Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known before... in my time
    She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend
    I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door... in my mind
    But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end
    And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll never do again
