TRAVELIN' THRU
by Dolly Parton
from the Transamerica Soundtrack
Well, I can't tell you where I'm going. I'm not sure of where I've been,
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end.
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it.
I'm a puzzle. I must figure out where all my pieces fit.
Like a poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song,
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home.
Where that is, no one can tell me. Am I doomed to ever roam?
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin'. I'm just travelin' on.
Questions I have many, answers but a few,
But we're here to learn. The spirit burns to know the greater truth.
We've all been crucified, and they nailed Jesus to the tree,
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me.
God made me for a reason and nothing is in vain.
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain.
Oh, sweet Jesus, if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stumblin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm travelin' thru.
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin'. I'm just travelin' thru.
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin'. I'm just travelin' thru.
Oh, sometimes the road is rugged and it's hard to travel on,
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone.
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try.
We can make a world of difference. If we want to, we can fly.
Goodbye, little children. Goodnight, you handsome men.
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when;
And I hope I'll see you down the road. You meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru.
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin'. I'm just travelin',
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind.
Oh, give me some direction, Lord. Let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin' thru.
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin'. I'm just travelin' thru.
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin'. I'm just travelin' thru.
Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song,
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home.
Oh, sweet Jesus, if you're out there, keep me ever close to you,
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru.
