Lyrics:

1974
Writer(s): Merle Haggard

Lord, don't give up on me I'll do right some day
Lord, don't tune me out, don't turn away
I'm just a wandering pilgrim all alone
And lord, I'm only halfway home

Wait just a little longer, I need some time
Make me just a little stronger so I can climb
It's a long way up from the very bottom to heaven's dome
And lord, I'm only halfway home

Lord, don't give up on me I'll do right some day
Lord, don't tune me out, don't turn away
I'm just a wandering pilgrim all alone
Lord, I'm only halfway home
And Lord, I'm only halfway home
