How many days can one man wonder
How many years can one man carry on
If i was tough, could my fist harness the thunder
If i was stronger, could i roll these days along
How many days, how many days
How much time can one man spend trying
How many lies could that one man tell
If i was smart, why would i try to tame the lion
If it meant i lost myself to burn in hell
How many days, how many days
If i believed there's a better world waiting
Is that belief framed in ignorance and fear
Is blind faith our only salvation
Or is the plain truth always sittin' right here
How many days, how many days
How many days can one man wonder
How many years can one man carry on
How many days, how many days
How many days, how many days

Kris Kristofferson is a country singer and songwriter from Brownsville, TX, best known for the hits he wrote and recorded in the late 1960s.

Me and Bobby McGee was popularized by Janis Joplin, For The Good Times by Ray Price, and Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down by Johnny Cash. His 1971 album The Silver Tongued Devil and I was a commercial success. He released a few more albums in the 1970s, but focused more on acting toward the middle and end of the decade.

In the 1980s, he joined with fellow outlaw country superstars Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings to form Highwaymen, whose self-titled debut album was a critical and commercial success.
