Kiss the World Goodbye

Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]

(Kris Kristofferson)



I never had no regrets boys not for nothin' I've done

I owed the devil some debts boys paid 'em all up but one

And I don't even regret the livin' that I'll be leaving behind

I've gotten weary of searching for something I couldn't find.



I'm going down to the shade by the river one more time

And feel the breeze on my face before I die

I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck for the losers

And then bend down kiss the world goodbye.



Come to lucky-in-lovin' I never had no complains

They never said I was evil but then I wasn't no saint

I'm just a river that rolled forever and never got to the sea

I just ain't blamin' nobody I had it coming to me.



I'm going down to the shade by the river one more time

And feel the breeze on my face before I die

I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck for the losers

And then bend down kiss the world goodbye.



I never had no regrets boys not for nothin' I've done

I owed the devil some debts boys paid 'em all up but one

And I don't even regret the livin' that I'll be leaving behind

I've gotten weary of searching for something I couldn't find...
