When Kris Kristofferson performs this song, he dedicates it to Willie Nelson, and tells about being inspired to write it after watching Willie Nelson perform and interact with his fans:
Final Attraction
by Kris KristoffersonWell here you are
The final attraction
Awaiting direction
From somewhere aboveYour finest performance
Approaching perfection
I know what you’re making
Is some kind of loveSomewhere in your lifetime
You were dared into feeling
So many emotions
That tear you apartBut they love you so badly
For sharing their sorrows
So pick up that guitar
Go break a heartCome on boy, get back up there
You can do it one more time
For Hank Williams, go break a heart
And Janis Joplin, go break a heart
And Waylon Jennings,
go break a heart
And John Lennon, go break a heart
And Roger Miller, ”
And Jimi Hendrix, ”
And Mickey Newbury, ”
And maybe one time for me
Go break a heart
