“Pilgrims” is a Widespread Panic original.
It's a song about riding from town to town. You're listening to a song on the radio and it fades out, and then another city's radio station fades in over top of it. It's like the same song ’cause we're travelling all the time, and the radio becomes a song in and of itself.
