Blood on the Saddle - Pilgrim's Road

I thought I was tough
I thought I was strong
I found out that I was wrong
I been through hell and I've lived to tell
Each time I got sick, each time I got well

The kiss of death is on your breath
When we're so high, think we never can die
You can't stand life with no dope
I can't bear love without hope

So, I'm going down a pilgrim's road
All of my sins are one heavy load
I'll walk alone for my crimes, I'll atone
I'm going down a pilgrim's road

I pawned my guitar on your birthday
You don't have to strip for money today
Your face shows pain 'til you find that vein
It's like we're tied to a ball and a chain

If it's a sin to be so high
Escape this life, I gotta try
It's sweeter to laugh than it is to cry
Better to live than it is to die

I'm going down a pilgrim's road
I'll seek salvation for my wretched soul
A junkie don't live by no moral code
I'm going down a pilgrim's road
