Pilgrim's Progress Songtext
von Josh Joplin

The Mormons are at the door
The sinners at the gates
Jesus Christ is hitching rides
Across the Great Lake States
Opening Wal-Mart stores
Greeting people at the doors
Hey, hey, welcome to our discount days

Here we go
Into the afterglow
Here we go
Into the afterglow
Lookin′ back on brighter days

Ever since the reformation
I've been uneasy, John
There′s just so many sides to hate
I forgot which side I'm on
The pilgrims and the pioneers
Are coming home to rousing cheers
Everybody loves the hometown team


Here we go
Into the afterglow
Here we go
Into the afterglow
Lookin' back on brighter days

Here we go
Into the afterglow
Here we go
Into the afterglow
Everything′ll be okay

Well, I don′t know, but I've been told
Heaven is paved with faith in gold
And we can′t get enough

Sun's behind a barbed-wire fence
The day is in a jar
Put it up with all your stuff
And take down your guitar
Sing to me a sweeter song
Let me know that I belong
All I need′s a pretty melody


Here we go
Into the afterglow
Here we go
Into the afterglow
Lookin' back on brighter days

Here we go
Into the afterglow
Here we go
Into the afterglow
Everything′ll be okay
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
