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 blood and 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 to keep 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 Searching 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 So let's take the good times as they go And I'll meet you further on up the road
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 One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know And I'll meet you further on up the road
