Among his songwriting credits are the songs "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night", all of which were hits for other artists.
In 1985, Kristofferson joined fellow country artists Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash in forming the country music supergroup The Highwaymen, and formed a key creative force in the outlaw country music movement that eschewed the Nashville music machine in favor of independent songwriting and producing. In 2004, Kristofferson was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. As an actor, he is known for his roles in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973), Blume in Love (1973), Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), A Star Is Born (1976) (which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor), Convoy (1978), Heaven's Gate (1980) and Blade (1998).
Kristofferson has said that he would like the first three lines of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" on his tombstone:
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

Kris Kristofferson Lyrics
(Feeling love is feeling good
I believe in love) yeah
(Feeling love is feeling good
I believe in love) yeah
Feeling love¡ that's all
That's enough for me
Yet I see, I see
Faces
Covered-up and empty-eyed
Empty spaces
Where there used to be a soul inside
Nothing and no-one ever gets to you
Seems the wind could blow right through you
Believing in gods that never knew you
I believe in love, I believe in love
I believe in feeling good, and that's feeling love
Now, worry climbing up your money tree
You got to hurry monkey do what monkey see
You're on a one-way street and you're speeding
Missing the signs you oughta be reading
Passing things you'll later be needing
I believe in love what?
I believe it - nobody sold me
Always knew it - nobody told me
I believe in someone to hold me
I believe in love, I believe in love, I do
Yes, I believe in feeling good
And that's feeling love
(Feeling love is feeling good)
Feeling love, that's all
That's enough for me, I won't be
Don't want to be lonely
Sleeping in an empty bed
Shouldn't be only a place to rest my head
But I don't want to find myself one day
Waking up and looking at Monday
With some "what's his name" left from Sunday
I believe in love, what!
I believe it - nobody sold me
Always knew it - nobody told me
I believe in someone to hold me
I believe in love, I believe in love, I do
I believe in feeling good
Now everybody should
Believe in feeling good
Believin', believin' love!
I believe in love) yeah
(Feeling love is feeling good
I believe in love) yeah
Feeling love¡ that's all
That's enough for me
Yet I see, I see
Faces
Covered-up and empty-eyed
Empty spaces
Nothing and no-one ever gets to you
Seems the wind could blow right through you
Believing in gods that never knew you
I believe in love, I believe in love
I believe in feeling good, and that's feeling love
Now, worry climbing up your money tree
You got to hurry monkey do what monkey see
You're on a one-way street and you're speeding
Missing the signs you oughta be reading
Passing things you'll later be needing
I believe in love what?
I believe it - nobody sold me
Always knew it - nobody told me
I believe in someone to hold me
I believe in love, I believe in love, I do
Yes, I believe in feeling good
And that's feeling love
(Feeling love is feeling good)
Feeling love, that's all
That's enough for me, I won't be
Don't want to be lonely
Sleeping in an empty bed
Shouldn't be only a place to rest my head
But I don't want to find myself one day
Waking up and looking at Monday
With some "what's his name" left from Sunday
I believe in love, what!
I believe it - nobody sold me
Always knew it - nobody told me
I believe in someone to hold me
I believe in love, I believe in love, I do
I believe in feeling good
Now everybody should
Believe in feeling good
Believin', believin' love!
