The Pilgrim (Live) - Kris Kristofferson
Written by：Kris Kristofferson
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans
Wearing yesterday's misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money love and dreams
Which he spent like they was going out of style
And he keeps right on a changing for the better or the worse
Searching for a shrine he's never found
Never knowing if believing is a blessing or a curse
Or if the going up was worth the coming down
He's a poet oh he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction partly truth partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars
Has traded in tomorrow for today
Running from his devils lord and reaching for the stars
And losing all he's loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse
And all he ever gets is older and around
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse
The going up was worth the coming down
He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a liar
He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walking contradiction partly truth partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home
