Far Away
Pilgrim
–Steve Earle
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
This ain't never been my home
Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky long the way, boys
But I was never travelin' alone
Bridge 1:
Well meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Somewhere down the road you'll understand
Cause I expect to touch his hand, boys
I expect to touch his hand, boys
I expect to touch his hand, boys
I'll put a word in for you if I can
Bridge 2:
Well meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well

I Like The Christian Life
—The Louvin Brothers
My buddies tell me that I should have waited
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
But I still love them and I sing with pride
I like the Christian life
Chorus:
I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasure in things I despise
I like the Christian life
My buddies shunned me since I turned to Jesus
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
I'll live without them and walk in the light
I like the Christian life
Chorus

Sixteen Tons
—Merle Travis
Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
Chorus:
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the straw boss said, "Well a-bless my soul!"
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an old mama lion
Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line
If you see me comin' better step aside
A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will
