Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight

(Kris Kristofferson - Stephen Bruton)



Buddy tip your bottle back and climb aboard the bus

Join your brothers in the van

You ain't bum in Birmingham and you ain't one of us

We don't really give a damn.



London is a hundred miles away from where we're at

And a thousand years behind

Splitin' from the sorry gag that left us feeling flat

Out of sight and out of mind.



Cruisin' through the country side 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 van

You ain't bum in Birmingham and you ain't one of us

We don't really give a damn.

Yeah, I've been everywhere and I've seen any thing 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.



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

Let's keep drinkin' till we're blind

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

Out of sight and out of line.



Some day 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've ever got around

Out of sight and out of mind, out of sight and out of mind...
