<p style="text-align: center"><strong>The Pilgrim...in a foreign voice...</strong></p>
<p>You will have to go to the post to hear the song, it doesn't seem to be working in the forum. I don't want to fuck with it incase it fucks it up in the post. PS, I just cross post some of these old posts in the forum because when I originally wrote them I didn't know anything about keywords, categories' or metadata etc, I still don't know that much now really lol.</p>
<p>But I am slowly going back to add them so google can index them and they can be found in a search. I figure I will crosspost them in the forum so you don't have to go back to the original post, but if you want to hear the scorpions play this one you will have to  :) Rock on Bitches!!!</p>
<p>I managed to get the song to play by taking the embedding code off it, and put it in the glam metal section. But I am going to leave the embedding on it here so it doesn't fuck up the actual post. </p>
<p>This is not the way I wanted my song to sound, I wrote it, and this guy who did it changed the lyrics, and I didn't know he had a foreign voice...it sounds like a scorpions song lol, who I love, but I didn't want that.</p>
<p>I pictured it like a country song, which it should be, but the more I listen to this scorpions version...well...I can't really complain...</p>
<p>I am only posting it because it kind of makes me laugh now....not because of the foreign voice, although that makes me laugh, but because he didn't know exactly what I wanted, that was probably partly my fault.</p>
<p>I honestly can't believe he actually changed my lyrics, without consulting me. But I am posting this so a friend can hear it, I think I will end up singing my lyrics...he is a great 80's guitar player though, I'll give him that!</p>

<p>These are the original lyrics I wrote, I combined Kris Kristofferson's and Frankie Laine's with my own. I know he had to change them to make them fit his scorpions song structure, but he didn't even consult me on what he cut, that really pissed me off...</p>
<p>But whateve's, it's all good, I am an <a href="https://evolvingslacker.com/about/">evolving slacker</a> after all ;) he did an admiral job though, but left out so much, that's why I think I have to do it on acoustic and include it all....</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>The Pilgrim Chapter 33 </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Pilgrim chapter 33, to Kris Kristofferson, Frankie Lane, Dennis Hopper and Johnny Cash...and Mom and Dad</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>My brother used to sit and listen to the Pilgrim</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I used to sit and listen with him</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It was the best thing we’d ever known</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Parents took us to his concert, when we were just kids</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dude came out with no sleeves and a Harley shirt</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Long hair, puffing on a smoke, and cool as shit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I really had no Idea who he was</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We were kids and just knew we weren’t in church</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thinking back I can’t remember a fucking thing</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Except it left a huge impression on me</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I think it left an even bigger one on my older bro</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pretty sure it swole his soul</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Years later it made more sense</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>My older bro emulated him, he wore t-shirts in the cold</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Didn’t bother him a bit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But he was hardcore and the <a href="https://evolvingslacker.com/?p=347">fucking shit</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Little kids watching Kristofferson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So badass singing the Pilgrim</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Little could anyone know</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That song was about my brother,</p>
<p>So dead on</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As we grew older I kind of forgot about it</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We all went through so much shit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But then we started going through parents old albums</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And when we played the Pilgrim, it was so legit</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I actually liked Frankie Lane</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bullet in my shoulder, blood, running down my vest</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But when we played the Pilgrim</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>My bro liked it the best</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Till I became a wanted man</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I never even owned a gun</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Then I listened to the Pilgrim</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And I’m always, always, on the run</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Little kids watching Kristofferson</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So badass singing the Pilgrim</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Little could anyone know</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That song was about my brother,</p>
<p>So dead on</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>My brother became the living embodiment</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Of the Pilgrim</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From the rocking of the cradle</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To the rolling of the hearse</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The going up was worth the coming down</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But still</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bullet in my shoulder</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Blood, running down my vest</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Twenty in the posse</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And they’re never gonna let me rest</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But Pilgrim was better, it was so dead on</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>See him <a href="https://evolvingslacker.com/?p=555">wasted on the sidewalk</a></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In his jacket and his jeans</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wearing yesterday's misfortune with a smile</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He’s a walking contradiction</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Partly truth and partly fiction</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Listening to ACDC</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And paving his own road</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We all did crazy shit</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hell, we were all just kids</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But he was always just a bit crazier than us</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That’s why we all loved him so much</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He had no boundaries</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He didn’t put up any walls</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He followed his own rules</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And he answered his own call</p>

<p>That song was about my brother,</p>
<p>So dead on</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He had tasted good and evil</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In your bedrooms and your bars</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He liked to listen to Judas Priest</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Didn’t follow any laws</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was hardcore and he knew it</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was like a character in a play</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But he took no direction</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And he played it everyday</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He had no rhyme nor reason</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was mythical and hardcore</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He did whatever pleased him</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He didn’t believe in right or wrong</p>

<p>That song was about my brother,</p>
<p>So dead on</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This song is about Dennis Hopper, Johnny Cash</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Evolving Slacker's older brother, had a lot to do with it too</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sometimes I even wonder, did he even exist at all?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But he woke me up more than once, just to get me stoned</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He would listen to my music</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While smoking Export A’s</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was every little brothers dream</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He really was the most badass guy I’d ever seen</p>
<p> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was really unbelievable</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That’s why I had to <a href="https://evolvingslacker.com/?p=588">write this song</a></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He took every wrong direction</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On his lonely way back home</p>
