Bobby Chinn Instagram – Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful birthday wishes. Incredibly humbling to say the least. Trying to find a song that could be the story of my life, it’s a close toss up between ‘The Pilgrim’ by Kris Kristofferson or ‘Both Sides Now’ Joni Mitchell, the former being much easier to play! This was filmed during a rehearsal in Hanoi for our gig down in HCMC @hozo_musicfestival . Special appearances from Ian Richardson and the famed @Jeffrichardaon5349. The last verse goes like this:
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he’s traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin’ from his devils, lord, and reachin’ for the stars,
And losin’ all he’s loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turnin’ for the better or the worse,
And all he ever gets is older and around
from the rockin’ of the cradle to the rollin’ of the hearse,
The goin’ up was worth the comin’ down
He’s a poet, he’s a picker
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
There’s a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home. | Posted on 03/Apr/2023 17:23:30
