Further on up the Road
Where the road is dark and the seed is sowedWhere the gun is cocked and the bullet's coldWhere the miles are marked in the blood and goldI'll meet you further on up the road
Got on my dead man's suit and my smilin' skull ringMy lucky graveyard boots and a song to singI got a song to sing, it keeps me out of the coldAnd I'll meet you further on up the road.
Further on up the roadFurther on up the roadWhere the way is dark and the night is coldOne sunny mornin' we'll rise I knowAnd I'll meet you further on up the road.
Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my timeSearchin' through the dust, lookin' for a signIf there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't knowBut I got this fever burnin' in my soul
Further on up the roadFurther on up the roadFurther on up the roadFurther on up the road
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I knowAnd I'll meet you further on up the roadOne sunny mornin' we'll rise I knowAnd I'll meet you further on up the road.
