so i thought i would put you all out of your guessing of what Kristofferson penned song is also on my list...
MH, "loving her was easier" was close and almost made the list, as did "why me,Lord" but on this occasion Ruby's guess was correct:
"SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN"
was written in 1969 and released by Ray Stevens prior to Johnny Cash sending it into the stratosphere...
the reason this song makes the list is the mournful tune and lyrics that wallow in self pity after one hell of a saturday night of indulgences.
Kristofferson paints a fantastic image of waking up with a hangover, putting on whatever clothes the character could muster to put on and then he describes the images and smells of the street as he ventures outside, fantastic stuff and no one sings this one with the solomn and dour vocal delivery that it deserves more than Johnny Cash.
