[Intro]          
                  
Where the road is dark 
                  
And  the sead is sowed 
                 
Where the gun is ed  
                   
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, 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, brother, 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
