Help Me Make It Through The Night with Lyrics KRIS KRISTOFFERSON and LADY ANTEBELLUM
Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall Layin’ soft upon my skin, like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side ’til the early morning light All I’m takin’ is your time, help me make it through the night
I don’t care who’s right or wrong, I don’t try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow’s out of sight And it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night
Lord, it’s sad to be alone, help me make it through the night
Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder Tell the storm I’m new I’m a wall, come and march on the regular Painting white flags blue
Lord forgive me, I’ve been running Running blind in truth I’ma rain, I’ma rain on this bitter love Tell the sweet I’m new
I’m telling these tears, go and fall away, fall away May the last one burn into flames
Freedom Freedom I can’t move Freedom, cut me loose Singin’, freedom Freedom Where are you? ‘Cause I need freedom, too I break chains all by myself Won’t let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I’ma keep running ‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves
I’ma wade, I’ma wave through the waters Tell the tide, “Don’t move” I’ma riot, I’ma riot through your borders Call me bulletproof
Lord forgive me, I’ve been runnin’ Runnin’ blind in truth I’ma wade, I’ma wave through your shallow love Tell the deep I’m new
I’m telling these tears, go and fall away, fall away May the last one burn into flames
Freedom Freedom I can’t move Freedom, cut me loose Singin’, freedom Freedom Where are you? ‘Cause I need freedom, too I break chains all by myself Won’t let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I’ma keep running ‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves
Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice Channel nine news tell me I’m movin’ backwards Eight blocks left, death is around the corner Seven misleadin’ statements ’bout my persona Six headlights wavin’ in my direction Five-o askin’ me what’s in my possession Yeah I keep runnin’, jump in the aqueducts Fire hydrants and hazardous Smoke alarms on the back of us But mama don’t cry for me, ride for me Try for me, live for me Breathe for me, sing for me Honestly guidin’ me I could be more than I gotta be Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy Code on me, drive on me Wicked, my spirit inspired me Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs And when they carve my name inside the concrete I pray it forever reads
Freedom Freedom I can’t move Freedom, cut me loose Singin’, freedom! Freedom! Where are you? ‘Cause I need freedom, too I break chains all by myself Won’t let my freedom rot in hell Hey! I’ma keep running ‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves
What you want from me? Is it truth you seek? Oh, Father, can you hear me? What you want from me? Is it truth you seek? Oh, Father, can you hear me? Hear me out”I had my ups and downs But I always find the inner strength to pull myself up I was served lemons, but I made lemonade”

Hide your horses, hold your tongue Hang the rich and spare the young Who drain the spirits from the jars Hop the fences, steal the cars Run on fumes and from the north And burn for us right through the fall
All the ladies call your name Brush your hair like it could be tamed Hitch their dresses past the knees Spilling to the floor like ease They swing the bridges one and more And burn for us right through the fall
All our running ahead, all our running ahead All our running ahead
And we’ll seize the captain’s wheel A mutiny we’ve come to feel When [?] their aiming’s gone from view With everything we thought to do Oh, the devil won’t have me I wonder who will, I wonder who will All our running is a crawl And burns for us right through the fall
All our running ahead, all our running ahead All our running ahead All our running, all our running All our running, all our running
Inspired by these past few life-altering years of “Joni Jams,” I conjured up imagery from the infamous music scene in Laurel Canyon … I could see the cast of California Dreamers with embroidered flowers and peace signs on their backs drifting through a Polaroid haze.
Found the truth beneath your lies And true love never has to hide (True love never has to hide) I’ll trade your broken wings for mine (Trade your broken wings for mine) I’ve seen your scars and kissed your crime (Seen your scars and kissed your crime)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again I’m gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long Love, all night long Sweet love, all night long Sweet love, all night long All I wanna, ain’t no other We together, I remember Sweet love, all night long
Our love was stronger than your pride Beyond your darkness, I’m your light, oh If you get deep, you touch my mind (If you get deep, you touch my mind) Baptize your tears and dry your eyes (Baptize your tears and dry your eyes)
So many people I know that they just tryna touch ya Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again I’m gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long Love, all night long Sweet love, all night long Sweet love, all night long All I wanna, ain’t no other We together, I remember Sweet love, all night long
They say true love’s the greatest weapon To win the war caused by pain (pain) But every diamond has imperfections But my love’s too pure to watch it chip away (chip a-, chip a-, chip away) Boy, nothing real can be threatened True love breathes salvation back into me With every tear came redemption And my torturer became my remedy
So many people I know that they just tryna touch ya Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again I’m gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long Love, all night long Sweet love, all night long Sweet love, all night long All I wanna, ain’t no other We together, I remember Sweet love, all night long
