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 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
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
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
