Kris Kristofferson

The Captive

I'd like to say that I can see the target of my destiny .

And that it guided everything I do.

I'd like to think that I could take a drink of you and just walk away but God and I both know it's not true.

Someday I'm bound to be free.

And I'll be ready for whatever life ensues.

But for the moment I remain the captive of the human brain.

That blew it'self to pieces over you.

Sorry that I put you through the one thing that we could not do.

Was get along together or apart.

Thankin' you for leavin' me a stronger man than I used to be.

And just a little harder in the heart.

Someday I'm bound to be free (you know me).

And I'll be ready for whatever road I choose.

But for the moment I remain the captive of the human brain that.

Blew itself to pieces lovin' you ...
