(Merle Haggard)

Lord, don't give up on me, I'll do right someday
Lord don't turn 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 fly
It's a long way up from a very bottom the heaven's dome
And Lord I'm only halfway home.

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

And Lord, I'm only halfway home...
