Artist/Band: Kris Kristofferson
Lyrics for Song: New Mister Me
Lyrics for Album: A Moment Of Forever [1995]



(Kris Kristofferson)



The moment that you saw him you just looked the other way

The blood within his eye was like a curse

He had two heavy pistols which were greasied up and ready

And a face like Bobby Dylan only worse.



He ordered up a whisky which he drank like he was thirsty

And ordered him another of the same

Suddenly the silence of the frozen room was shattered

By a kid who shot before he called his name.



He looked up at his killer from the floor where he had fallen

Said well look what you have gone and done to me

He said son I think you blew it but you're truly welcome to it

You can be the new mister me.



Yeah, you can be the new mister me, me, me

Ain't it true that's what you want to be yesiree Bob

And i'll be somewhere sunny where it's funny and it's free

And you can be the new mister me.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I was there the day they say that Bobby Dylan died

You and I both know he got away

He's out there stealin' horses really learnin' how to ride

And he's the reason I am free today.



Singin' you can be the new mister me, me, me

Ain't it true that's what you want to be yesiree Bob

And i'll be somewhere sunny where it's funny and it's free

And you can be the new mister me...


New Mister Me

It reflects on themes of change and identity, resonating with listeners who appreciate the depth of his narrative approach to music.
