[00:00.00]To Beat the Devil - Kris Kristofferson
[00:04.38]It was winter time in Nashville
[00:07.21]Down on music city row
[00:10.71]And I was looking for a place to
[00:12.72]Get myself out of the cold to warm
[00:17.52]The frozen feeling that was eating at my soul
[00:22.66]And keep the chilly
[00:23.68]Wind off my guitar my thirsty wanted whiskey
[00:30.65]My hungry needed
[00:31.95]Beans but it'd been a month of pay days
[00:35.99]Since I'd heard that eagle
[00:37.48]Scream so with a stomach full of empty and
[00:43.20]Pocket full of dreams
[00:45.16]I left my pride and stepped inside a bar
[00:51.90]Actually I guess you'd
[00:53.04]Call it a tavern cigarette smoke to
[00:56.76]The ceiling and sawdust on the
[00:58.62]Floor
[01:02.07]Friendly shadows
[01:08.36]I saw that there was just one old man sitting
[01:12.25]At the bar and in the mirror
[01:15.54]I could see him checking me with my
[01:17.66]Guitar he turned and said
[01:21.28]Come up here boy and show us what you
[01:24.42]Are
[01:26.50]I said I'm dry
[01:27.97]And he bought me a beer
[01:32.41]He nodded at my
[01:33.36]Guitar and said
[01:34.31]It's a tough life ain't it
[01:37.26]I just looked at him
[01:39.28]And he said you ain't making any money are you
[01:43.51]I said you've
[01:44.10]Been reading my mail he just smiled and said
[01:47.92]Let me see that
[01:48.78]Guitar I got something you ought to hear
[01:53.70]Then he laid
[01:54.33]It on me
[01:56.76]If you waste your time a talking to the people
[02:01.10]Who don't listen
[02:02.50]To the things that you are saying
[02:05.65]Who do you think's going to hear
[02:08.52]And if you should die explaining
[02:10.93]How the things that they complain about
[02:14.18]Are things they could be changing
[02:17.09]Who d'you think's goin' to care
[02:21.02]There were other lonely singers
[02:24.17]In a world turned deaf and blind who
[02:27.35]Were crucified for what they tried to show
[02:32.43]And their voices have been scattered
[02:35.44]By the swirling winds of time
[02:38.66]'Cause the truth remains that no one wants to know
[02:46.96]Well the old man was a stranger
[02:49.85]But I'd heard his song before
[02:53.56]Back when failure had me locked out
[02:56.01]On the wrong side of the door when
[02:59.68]No thing stood behind me but my shadow
[03:02.51]On the floor and lonesome was more
[03:06.50]Than a state of mind you see
[03:11.69]The devil haunts a hungry man if you
[03:16.68]Don't want to join him you've got to beat him
[03:22.31]I ain't sayin' I beat the
[03:23.81]Devil but I drank his beer for nothing
[03:28.90]And then I stole his song
[03:32.39]And you still can hear me singing to the people
[03:36.62]Who don't listen
[03:38.01]To the things that I am saying
[03:41.14]Praying someone's going to hear
[03:43.82]And I guess I'll die explaining
[03:46.33]How the things that they complain about
[03:49.51]Are things they could be changing
[03:52.45]Hoping someone's goin' to care
[03:56.23]I was born a lonesome singer and I'm bound to die the same
[04:02.37]But I've got to feed the hunger in my soul
[04:07.61]And if I never have a nickel I won't ever die of shame
[04:13.76]'Cause I don't believe that no one wants to know
[04:34.32]'Cause I be long before
