The Pilgrim Chapter 33 See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans, Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile-- Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams, Which he spent like they was goin' outa style-- And he keeps right on a changin' for the better or the worse, Searchin' for a shrine he's never found-- Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse, Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down-- Chorus: Hes a poet, hes a picker-- Hes a prophet, hes a pusher-- Hes a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned-- Hes a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, Takin ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home. He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars, And he's traded in tomorrow for today-- Runnin' from his devils, lord, and reachin' for the stars, And losin' all he's loved along the way-- But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse, And all he ever gets is older and around-- from the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse, The goin' up was worth the comin' down-- Chorus: Hes a poet, hes a picker-- Hes a prophet, hes a pusher-- Hes a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned-- Hes a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home. There's a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.
The Pilgrim Chapter 33
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans, Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile-- Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams, Which he spent like they was goin' outa style-- And he keeps right on a changin' for the better or the worse, Searchin' for a shrine he's never found-- Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse, Or if the goin' up was worth the comin' down--
Chorus: Hes a poet, hes a picker-- Hes a prophet, hes a pusher-- Hes a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned-- Hes a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, Takin ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars, And he's traded in tomorrow for today-- Runnin' from his devils, lord, and reachin' for the stars, And losin' all he's loved along the way-- But if this world keeps right on turnin' for the better or the worse, And all he ever gets is older and around-- from the rockin' of the cradle to the rollin' of the hearse, The goin' up was worth the comin' down--
Chorus: Hes a poet, hes a picker-- Hes a prophet, hes a pusher-- Hes a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he's stoned-- Hes a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, Takin' ev'ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home. There's a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

#1. To: James Deffenbach (#0) (Edited) I don't know if he wrote this as an autobiographical song, but it certainly could be. He's known the highest highs, and the lowest lows. An amazing talent.

To: lodwick (#1) I think it was at least partly autobiographical (and as he says in the beginning of the song, he wrote it for a good many of his friends too). Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
