Steve Earle plays his song "Pilgrim" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at the Camp Winnarainbow benefit concert at Herbst Theater in San Francisco, California on September 29, 2022. Pilgrim appeared on Earle's bluegrass album The Mountain (1999), which he recorded with the Del McCoury Band. Joining Earle in this performance were Emmylou Harris (vocals), Chris Masterson (guitar), Eleanor Whitmore (fiddle / vocals), Jackson Browne (vocals), Elvis Costello (vocals / guitar), and Billy Strings (guitar).
Earle, who was in town for the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, performed as part of a songwriters' circle at Toward The Fun(ds): A Concert Benefitting Camp Winnarainbow. The camp, founded by Wavy Gravy, is a kids' summer camp focused on circus, juggling, acting, and clown performance. It provides scholarships to families in need to keep the camp open to all children.

Pilgrim lyrics:
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
This ain't never been my home
Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys
Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys
But I was never travellin' alone
We'll meet again on some bright highway
Songs to sing and tales to tell
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you, fare thee well
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Ain't no need to cry for me, boys
Somewhere down the road, you'll understand
'Cause I expect to touch His hand, boys
I expect to touch His hand, boys
I expect to touch His hand, boys
I'll put a word in for you, if I can
We'll meet again on some bright highway
With songs to sing and tales to tell
But I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you, fare thee well
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you, fare thee well
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you, fare thee well

Steve Earle official bio:
Steve Earle remembers exactly when he knew he wanted to be a songwriter. He was barely a teenager, growing up in Schertz, Texas, looking over a copy of a Beatles record. “The little line in parentheses next to ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’” said ‘Lennon-McCartney,’ Earle says. “I said, ‘I know who those guys are.’ And then I figured out that they wrote the song. And so that was when I started, you know, trying to write songs. They all had girls’ names for titles for a long time.”
Music was a big deal in Earle’s family and his dad, an air traffic controller, played piano. “My dad wouldn’t let me have an electric guitar,” he says. As a teen, he discovered Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Paul Simon and the Johnny Cash Show. “I always say my job was invented by Bob Dylan,” says Earle. “I’m a firm believer that rock & roll only becomes an art-form because of the lyrics. If it hadn’t been for Bob Dylan wanting to be John Lennon and John Lennon wanting to be Bob Dylan, it wouldn’t have been cranked up to the level of literature that makes it OK for rock & roll to be taken seriously.”
