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', wonderin', 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

Okay... i couldn't leave on such a depressing note as Sober.
I love the song but it can be very sad.
So I'm gonna try to make up for it with Travelin Thru by Ms. Dolly.
This song is great. I consider it inspirational.

Sometimes I can be so bogged down with what I feel is my crazy life.
I question my life and existence. I just want to know why God put me here.
Why do I have to deal with some of the crazy things that come my way?
God made us for a reason though and just like the song says - nothing is in vain.
The road can be very hard to travel sometimes.
Yet if you think about it - maybe that's to make us appreciate the good roads/good days all the better. If every day was all grand and wonderful then we would probably get a little bored and tired of that. Those bad and rough days are there to teach us and to help us grow.
Sometimes they even help us find our reason for being here on this big blue planet earth.
So sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you!
