The Pilgrim: Chapter 33-Willie Nelson

[00:04.710]See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans [00:10.160]Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile [00:15.210]Once he had a future full of money love and dreams [00:20.500]Which he spent like they was going out of style [00:25.070]And he keeps right on a changin' for the better or the worse [00:30.870]And searchin' for a shrine he's never found [00:35.790]Never knowing if believin' is a blessin' or a curse [00:41.170]Or if the going up is worth to coming down [00:46.040]He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher [00:51.330]He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned [00:56.200]He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction [01:01.330]Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home [01:12.480]He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars [01:17.790]And he's traded in tomorrow for today [01:23.270]Runnin' from the devils Lord and reachin' for the stars [01:28.210]And losin' all he loved along the way [01:32.940]But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse [01:37.880]And all he ever gets is older and around [01:41.870]From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse [01:48.110]The going up was worth the coming down [01:52.730]He's a poet he's a picker he's a prophet he's a pusher [01:57.900]He's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned [02:02.770]He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction [02:07.890]Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home [03:20.500]
