Yeah, there is that song by Kris Kristofferson. Made famous by Johnny Cash, sure, but the definitive versions are those sung by Kris Kristofferson.
Sunday Morning Coming Down.
Listen if you want to be depressed—the man knows that world first-hand. I once lived in that world, too. I do not wish to return.
I like that version, though there is a live Kris Kristofferson version of the song I acquired from the internet long ago (and can’t find now) that punched me in the gut.
I am now decades away from that life. Thank God, because it wasn’t me who made that happen. The Big Guy put an unseen hand on my shoulder and said “Sit down here for a while and have a cup of coffee” and I was too beaten to say no.
So I stayed. That is all I did. I wished to stay, because a room full of strangers and bad coffee was better than what I had going for me. So I stayed.
And that made all the difference.
Stay.
Postscript. Ahhh. Here is the version I love, performed by Kris Kristofferson and Steve Earle. Both lived that Sunday morning lifestyle and felt the big hand on their shoulder, too.
