Benjamin Gilbreath - Unfortunate Pilgrim Lyrics

Glances I get when I'm around I bet
Are indicative of folk the normal kind
And I hear no word even I am concerned
It behooves you to leave me behind

The country is a soft voice that soothes the lonesome heart

And if you believe I am not one to think
I am an unfortunate pilgrim so I'm taking one more drink

There ain't no reason to stay around this farm
I cannot explain the weight of my shame
For the revelation came to me that I have lost my charm
It's a distant memory that I do blame

Yet the chorus of the city life will tear me from my art

And if you believe I am not one to think
I am a questionable person so I'm taking one more drink

And from Boston Massachusetts to old California
I collected my guitar and tambourine
I made my way out to the plains where I could have my way
I perfected all my songs and became lean

In a moment of control I came to like that I was me

And if you believe I am not one to think
I am an unfortunate pilgrim so I'm taking one more drink
I am an unfortunate pilgrim in this world of lawful grief
I am an unfortunate pilgrim taking notes as devils speak
I am an unfortunate pilgrim so I'm taking my last drink
