Dolly parton- 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', 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

Of all the things (amazing) things she's done during her career, this one takes the cake. I get goosebumps each time i listen to this song. She should have won an Oscar for this.

[@johnyzero2000]

Dolly should have won the Oscar for this!

[@Comrade_Jason]

It's hard out here for a Pimp. WTF.

[@ninosimone]

that song should have won the OSCAR for best soundtrack. love it.

[@petagray5993]

Transamerica brought me here too. Gotta love this woman...she is true to herself. Fantastic song!

[@PhxVanguard]

Hahaha, just finished watching Transamerica and found this song too.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

"You meant more than I knew" That line tugs at me 'cause it's true. We often don't realize how much some people mean to us until they are out of sight..

[@StuartCourtAnfieldEvertonLGBT]

Dolly Parton wrote and did song in a week to go for the Soundtrack of the FANTASTIIC film TransAmerica. if you have not seen that film you should.

[@charmedlover88]

It's artists like this that make me proud to be born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee.

[@Vagrarian]

What a great song...applies to the situation in the movie but it's universal. We're all just muddling through as best we can, no matter what we think and tell ourselves. The best thing to do is hang on to each other because we're all we got.

[@davidhill2020]

Nothing was going to beat "Hard Out Here For a Pimp," since it wasn't just a good song, but absolutely pivotal to the movie, but in a lot of years it would've won...or at least it would've if a lot of Academy voters hadn't admitted that they didn't have any interest in seeing TransAmerica. Too bad, too. It's a great song.

[@misskitty1666]

Should have won the Oscar!

[@Celestegirl]

this is such a beautiful song

[@mr29]

What a song!

[@lumpchunker5516]

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. I first heard it after the death of my mother. I wish I could have played it for her at her funeral. She would have loved this song...

[@sertorrhenclegane]

Shoulda got the Oscar for Best Original Song that year.

[@TempusFugit91]

I´m so in love with her. She can do anything. Most beautiful and most talented woman ever.

[@Stefan-ji2ek]

Never before has a song epitomized my life more. Thank you Dolly!

[@athodyd]

My god, I thought I couldn't love Dolly Parton more, and then it turns out she supports trans rights. What a fantastically wonderful human being.

[@nudle19]

I love this lyric. They have so much meaning to it.

[@HLeonick]

Awaken around 2AM in the morning hearing this song on television and instantly fell in love with the lyrics.

[@anamariaaninha]

Beautiful Song

[@picardvskirk]

Great song + was the pefect song for the oscars...

[@nekrial]

It's awesome how much the meaning stays the same when you notice she sang this for a drag race.

[@misssasha2600]

Thank you Dolly your the BEST ...!

[@blahthrower]

[@yngveroennike]

Did anybody see Morgan James’ version on PBS United in Song? What a great cover, wish they’d put it up on KZbin.

[@M_W_L_F]

[@collegestudent4peace]

The perfect song for TransAmerica. I'm trans, and this song is...PERFECT. Thank you Dolly!

[@mackdavenport9096]

the country music channels need to putt no Dolly's music wile we got her

[@18steps]

great lyric

[@swhimper]

@Goodiez83 I saw Transamerica for the first time. Got this song stuck in my head.

[@jarppifinnish]

@musicaltheatergeek79 I just made a really good friend, but I'm moving away. That line made me cry. It's beautiful.

[@jacintasheeran4498]

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnyzero2000]

How the hell did this song lose to It's Hard Out There For a Pimp? Someone explain this to me?

[@jettison27]

awesome song, thank you Transamerica :)

[@danielhuber4953]

oscar. tarantino. dolly. parton. LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@seempleased]

Anyone online know if Ms.Parton also wrote the lyrics as well? Non the less, Loves me some DOLLY.!

[@andrewcunning]

Should Have Won For The Oscars

[@beccaloves888]

[@havingfun1968]

Who are the 4 people that hated this song and why?

[@0LiFraD0]

Transamerica got two stolen Oscars =___= This is beautiful, the winner that year was horrible :/

[@xavierp0nce]
