Ever heard Kris Kristofferson's song, "Jesse Younger?"?

Question

I named my son Jesse, in part as a promise to him that he would never find himself in that position. I still love that song.

Thank you for putting the lyrics on here - although I remember it from his "Jesus Was A Capricorn" album. LOL.

Answer 1

Unbelievable song ... a shame to ever experience this ... especially as a parent!

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON Song Lyrics

Jesse Younger
(From the album "LIVE AT THE PHILHARMONIC")

Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad
Doing all he could to please his mommy and his dad
But he never planned to be the man
They said that he'd become
And somehow or another Jesse's little baby brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

Ev'ry day the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame
The way he spat upon his family and scandalized their name
And his parents never really ever said he'd been disowned
But somehow or another now his little baby brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

Oh, Jesse Younger you're a devil not a man
Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind?
You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned
And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind.

Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong
Now that Jesse's name has turned to ashes on their tongues
But he chose to starve asnd try to carve a future of his own
And he got his druthers because now his younger brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son.

Oh, Jesse Younger, you're a devil not a man
Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind?
You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned
And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind.

Taylor quick, Rihanna, Kesha, rap, etc of that are all rather brutal. enable's bypass lower back to the 60's and 70's and have a good time in the extra that develop into Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, lets? there develop into easily hand-crafted, authentic, healthful music that develop into performed in studio and in stay live performance (without the studio version taking area in in the historic past, trust it or no longer). i trust notably unhappy for this technology of sweet 16.
