Pilgrim's Progress

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
