Where the road is dark And the seat is soaked Where the gun is cocked As the bullet's cold Where the miles are marked in the blood and the gold And 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 but one sunny morning 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 Looking for a sign If there's a light up ahead Well, buddy, I don't know But I got this fever Burning 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
