The Pilgrim;Chapter 33
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin yesterdays 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 achangin for the better or the worse,
Searchin for a shrine hes 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 hes stoned--
Hes a walkin contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin evry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And hes traded in tomorrow for today--
Runnin from his devils, lord, and reachin for the stars,
And losin all hes 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 hes stoned--
Hes a walkin contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin evry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
Theres a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

The Worst Day Ever
1. Well, it started with the sprinkler,
Goin' off at five a.m.
Got a call from the neighbors,
Thought, 'Oh, I'm in a jam.'
The next, it was a flat
On my way to work,
'What else could go wrong? '
Yeah, it's drivin' me biserk.
(Chorus)
Why do these things
Keep happenin' to me?
I don't deserve this,
What could it be?
Why is everything
Turnin' around?
It doesn't make me feel any better,
That this could be the worst day ever!
2. The boss at my job
Fired me today.
I say, 'What the heck! '
And I start runnin' away.
But then I turned around,
Thinkin, 'What is the point? '
Somethin' bad's gonna happen,
'Cause nothin's goin' right.
(Chorus)
3. I'm goin' home,
And I'm callin' my friends.
Thinkin' that the world's
About to come to an end.
If anybody hurts me,
That'll be the last of it all,
But then I hang up,
And I walk down the hall, and say
(Chorus)
(Guitar Solo
(Chorus)
4. I go for a drive
To my friend's housem
Thinkin' she's gonna say,
'Turn and go back home.'
But then I stop the car,
And go into the mall.
The next thing I know,
I run into the best guy of all!
(My true love!)
(Chorus) x 2
Bridge: But it turns out,
I was so wrong.
This is the best day of all!
Yeah, it's the best day ever!
It if the best day ever!
Yeow!

Goin Home
Midnight on a southern highway
Dont know if Im going the right way
I havent seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since Ive seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
Ive got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
Im drivin as fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waitin there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
Youre the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
Im a man in emotion
With only one compulsion
Ive got to follow these dreams inside my heart
Im not looking for a fight
No ones wrong and no ones right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
Im doin the best that I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin home
And I hope that its still waitin there for me
Solo
I thought youd might understand
Im drivinas fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waiting there for me
Going home
Going home
Yeah, baby

Comin And Goin
Stay at home
Phone that should be ringin'
Quiet as a picture on the wall
Now, tea for one, a song I'm used to singin'
Walking up and down an empty hall
Takin' off a wrinkled dress
That you never got to see
Then you come a-knockin' at my door
You know you could've fooled me
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh I'm comin' and goin' crazy over you, ah
Ahh, you and me
Once we get together
For a little while we're Jack and Jill
Baby, baby, now face to face, it's too good to believe it
Sure enough, you leave me standing still
You're a complicated man
But I do the best I can
I go in and out of heaven so fast
I don't know where I am
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh, I'm comin' and goin' crazy
Comin' and goin' crazy
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
And I never know, now I never know, what to do, ahh
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
You just don't know what you put me through
When the only face I see is you
You've got me comin' and goin' baby
Say the magic isn't really gone
It's you I'm still depending on

Runnin Blind
First you say one thing then you say another.
I dont know the difference, were you lyin to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.
Always on the road playin your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin out loud.
Wish you could see babe that youre runnin blind, yeah!
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Well its time for you to play all that you can say
Is get out of my way. dont be in the way
Always hear you screamin
I know youre just dreamin of leavin it all behind.
Hands keep goin up and down
Eyes are turnin around and around
Your goin crazy and nobody minds
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Oooooo! you cant go on runnin blind!
Change is comin no more runnin

Take Another Swing At Me
=========================================================================
I know I sent you packin'
But now I want you back again
Livin' without you ain't no livin' at all
How I miss your naggin'
And your tongue a-waggin'
And the crash of the coffee cup up against the bedroom wall
In the kitchen early in the mornin'
Midnight walkin' the floor
Without your cryin', cussin' and your moanin'
Home ain't home anymore
Chorus:
So come on, honey
Come home and spend my money
Come back, mama, and take another swing at me
I told my friends how I sent you runnin'
Cause you didn't do me right
But if I looked up and saw you comin'
You could do me wrong all night

Going Back To Glasters
I first played the pyramid stage
Back in 1984
(karl and kev, barv on bass
/
Karl on keys, kev on drums)
And anto man made four
I stayed up all night wide awake
Wearing a mile-wide grin
Diggin the transient city
And all that grooved within
Played a storm in 86
Felt like we were the kings
Fiddle bows and mandolins
Sure broke a lot of strings
We played purple rain, medicine bow
And the healing has begun
I climbed the tor at the break of dawn
Just to salute the sun
And Im goin back to glasters walkin tall
Yes Im goin back to glasters walkin tall, walkin tall
Im goin back to glasters, I cant go any faster
Im goin back to glasters, thats all
The next time was 89
With the raggle-taggle band
We were jammin jigs and reels
In a backstage transit van
I wore a wedding suit
I sang when you go away
Sharon shannons accordion
Was the soundtrack of the day
And Im goin back to glasters walkin tall
Yes Im goin back to glasters walkin tall, walkin tall
Im goin back to glasters, I cant go any faster
Im goin back to glasters, thats all
Five years later I returned
A different man of course
I guested with the boy mcnabb
And the mighty crazy horse
I cranked up the red les paul
And I let the bastard rip
Im coming back this year for sure,
I might even be hip
And Im goin back to glasters walkin tall
Yes Im goin back to glasters walkin tall, walkin tall
Im goin back to glasters, I cant go any faster
Im goin back to glasters, thats all

Country Comfort
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
As the village children fight each other for their share
And the six-o-nine goes roaring past the creek
As Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
I saw Grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really doing fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if sometime I could fix her barn
The poor old girl she needs a hand to run that farm
Chorus:
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Oh it's goin' back home
Down at the well they've got a new machine
The foreman says it'll cut manpower by fifteen
"Hey but that ain't natural" old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Country comfort and a truck that's goin' back home
Whoa, it's goin' back home
Hey take me back home
And a truck, and a truck that's goin' back home
Any truck

And It Stoned Me
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain keep pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin' rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day
Chorus:
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me
Then the rain let up and the sun came up
And we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
Chorus
On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said Hey! There you are
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream

Sweep up the pieces of this broken love
As a token to remember me

It's just goin', goin', goin'
Long gone
You can think whatever you want to baby
Believe whatever you wanna believe

But my heart's like a tumbleweed

Never wanted to desert you

Im Coming Home
(words & music by rich)
Well its so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
Its so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of
That girl thousand miles away
Yes, its still lonely having
Just her picture here with me
And I know I just cant stand it anymore
Im gonna leave right now
And go back where I ought to be
Goin home to the girl that I adore
Well its so very hard to have
To leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
Its so lonely just sitting
And dreaming of
That girl thousand miles away
Well, every time I hear
Her sweet voice on the telephone
Then I know I just cant stand it another day
Im gonna call right back
And tell her that Im coming home and stay
Call her back and say Im comin home and stay
Call her back and say Im comin home and stay
