Alcoholics are always lonely. Even in a crowd. But Sundays are the worst. Especially if you live in a dry county.
Yeah I've known some. I understand my grandfather was up until his last 10 years.
Kristofferson did write about Johnny Cash in at least two songs "to beat the devil" and "The Pilgrim Chapter 33". I reckon Kris has had his own battles but he wrote one song that is simple and to the point "Why Me" and he done a duet with Larry Gatlin on a song Larry wrote called "Help Me". Cash used "Help Me" with Gatlin singing in his movie "Gospel Road" on the life of Christ.
