Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
This in't never been my home
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys
But I was travelin' alone
[Verse 3]
We meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you, fare thee well
[Verse 4]
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Somewhere down the road you'll understand
[Verse 5]
'Cause I expect to touch His hand, boys
I expect to touch His hand, boys
I expect to touch His hand, boys
I'll put a word in for you if I can
[Verse 6]
We meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you, fare thee well
[Verse 7]
(I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys)
(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)
(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)
(Until I see you, fare thee well)
[Verse 8]
(I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys)
(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)
(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)
