Late Night Pilgrim - Tift Merritt

Rain like static falling in my eyes

Rain like static on the road

Rain on the loners and the regular thieves

Everybody else has gone home

If I could stay in your hotel bed

And sleep all day --

I made my mind up a long time ago

Got to keep on weaving my way

Like a late night pilgrim

Looking for redemption in the underground

Lord, won’t you help a late night pilgrim

When the morning comes around

You’ll get dirtier before you get clean

That’s how a dream will go

And when it don’t light like gasoline, baby

You’re on your own

Just a late night pilgrim

Looking for redemption in the underground

Lord, won’t you help a late night pilgrim

When the morning comes around

Sometimes, I am the fool who’s dealing cards

To a ghost who’s running late

Sometimes, the prophets they are just like me

Can’t do nothing but sit up and wait

With all the late night pilgrims

Looking for redemption in the underground

Lord, won’t you help the late night pilgrim

When the morning comes around

Lord, won’t you help this late night pilgrim

When the morning comes around
