Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed Where the gun is cocked, as 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 morning We'll rise, Iknow And I'll meet you further on up the road Now I've 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 morning We'll rise, I know And I'll meet you further on up the road
