Further On Up The Road

Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed

Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet’s cold
Where the miles are marked in the blood and the gold

I’ll meet you further on up the road.

Got on my dead man’s suit, and my smilin’ skull ring
My lucky graveyard boots, and a song to sing

I got a song to sing, it keeps me out of the cold

And I’ll meet you further on up the road.

Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Where the way is dark and the night is cold

One sunny mornin’ we’ll rise I know

And I’ll meet you further on up the road.

Now I been out in the desert, just doin’ my time
Searchin’ through the dust, lookin’ for a sign

If there’s a light up ahead, well brother I don’t know
But I got this fever burnin’ in my soul.

Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road

One sunny mornin’ we’ll rise I know
And I’ll meet you further on up the road.
