Further On (Up the Road)

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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, I know And I'll meet you further on up the road [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
