The Captive - Kris Kristofferson

I’d like to say that I can see the target of my destiny

And that it guided everything I do

I’d like to think that I could take a drink of you and just walk away but God

and I both know it’s not true

Someday I’m bound to be free

And I’ll be ready for whatever life ensues

But for the moment I remain the captive of the human brain

That blew it’self to pieces over you

Sorry that I put you through the one thing that we could not do

Was get along together or apart

Thankin' you for leavin' me a stronger man than I used to be

And just a little harder in the heart

Someday I’m bound to be free (you know me)

And I’ll be ready for whatever road I choose

But for the moment I remain the captive of the human brain that

Blew itself to pieces lovin' you …
