Songwriter, Kris Kristofferson, wrote a song after he attended a church service with a friend.
The song can be interpreted as his own personal religious rephrasing of 'Sunday Morning Coming Down.' In this case, he is 'coming down' not from drugs, but from the whole hedonistic euphoria of the (1960s)
One usually asks, “Why me, LORD?” expressing grief or anger toward God. Kristofferson tries to understand why he is so lucky in life.
"Why Me" was Kristofferson's lone major country hit as a solo recording artist, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in July 1973.
Also reached #1 in South Africa in 1973.
Elvis Presley incorporated the song, retitled "Why Me Lord", into his live shows beginning in January 1974.
More recent covers include:
Gospel artist CeCe Winans recorded a version on her 2017 album Let Them Fall in Love.
Wolfgang Hildebrandt also recorded a version of the song titled "Why Me Lord" on his 2018 album Country Love Songs.
Josh Turner recorded the song as a duet with Kristofferson on his 2020 album Country State of Mind.
