Travelin' Thru Lyrics

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', wanderin',
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

I normally don't like this kind of music...but I really like this song. Especially the way her voice lifts when she says "If we want to, we can fly"

I agree. And although I don't like country "twang," Dolly does have some very good songs. Goodnight you handsome men (man:) is my favorite line.
