Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I'm a pilgrim like you

 I was only passing through

You'll never know my name

 You'll never walk in my shoes

I've been no use to my friends

 I've been no use to myself

 Now I'm looking for proof that I ain't someone else

I was too afraid to read the newspaper

Working in the basement of a skyscraper

That's why I roll and you'll never know my name

 Oh no

I'm not here to feel the bones of some forgotten saint

I know who I am, and I know who you ain't

Spent fifteen days in solitary confinement

 Digging a hole in the wall

There's no escape, they said you need realignment

 Now you're praying for help but they don't hear you call

I was too afraid to read the newspaper

Working in the basement of a skyscraper

That's why I roll and you'll never know my name

 Oh no

Chorus

Destination, I don't care

I know I'll get there when I'm there

 There's only one thing on my mind

 I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine

My shoes have kicked up dust from here to somewhere else

Is this wanderlust or running from myself?

My neck was in the noose, but now I've been cut loose

And put out to graze in delicate pastures

 Now I'm waiting for someone to put me to use

I hope it's clear as crystal

That the man with the pistol

 Is calling all the shots these days

 Now I'll be on my way, oh

 The self-fulfilling prophets

They been lining their pockets

 And telling me that it's alright

 But I just don't buy it

 Oh no

Destination, I don't care

I know I'll get there when I'm there

 There's only one thing on my mind

 I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine

Destination, I don't care

I know I'll get there when I'm there

 There's only one thing on my mind

 I've got more troubles than a diamond's got shine
