Pilgrim

from Me & Billy The Kid by Joe Solo

/

about

A tribute to Townes Van Zandt who once brushed past me at The Adelphi in Hull and who felt as if he walked right through me....like he wasn't really there at all.

lyrics

When I leave this world behind me
I don't want a soul to find me
I just want to disappear one day.
Leave the city lights all fading
There's a big old world out there that's waiting
And no-one here'll miss me anyway

Life’ll either crush you
Or you’ll learn to bear the load
I ain’t a kinda prophet son
Just a pilgrim on the road

Every word he spoke it seemed to hit me
He left a pair of flyin' shoes that fit me
And I'm four towns down that highway now
I left the city lights all fading
There's a big old world out there that's waiting
And I'm gonna see it all somehow

Life’ll either crush you
Or you’ll learn to bear the load
I ain’t a kinda prophet son
Just a pilgrim on the road
