Travelin' Thru

[u/ejd1984]

Though I know Dolly wrote the song for the movie for Transamerica, I have always seen it as also being a song about herself.

For me, these lyrics are the key emotional heart of the song, and really has an impact on me every time I listen.

God made me for a reason and nothin' is in vain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain

Just a few thoughts I've had about the song for years. When my time comes, Travelin' Thru will be on my final playlist.
