Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

Out of Mind, Out of Sight

Buddy, tip your bottle back, climb aboard the bus

Join your brothers in the band

If you ain't bombed in Birmingham

Then you ain't one of us, we don't really give a damn

London is a hundred miles a-waitin' where we're at

And a thousand years behind

Splitting from a sorry gig that left us feelin' flat

Out of sight and out of mind

Cruisin' through the countryside, we'll never see again

Ain't it lonesome out tonight?

We've been on this road now since I can't remember when

Out of mind and out of sight

Buddy tip your bottle back and climb aboard the bus

Join your brothers in the band

If you ain't bombed in Birmingham then you ain't one of us

We don't really give a damn

Yeah, I been everywhere and I seen everything there is

But I never saw the light

Scared to death of dyin' so I do my best to live

Out of mind and out of sight

Knowin' no one nowhere's gonna miss us when we're gone

Let's keep drinkin' 'til we're blind

Everybody's sleepin' and I'm stuck inside a song

Outta sight and outta line

Someday when it's over and it's time to settle down

And we've left it all behind

We can sit and wonder how we ever got around

Out of sight and out of mind

Out of sight and out of mind
