Further On (Up the Road) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed
Where the gun is c*cked and the bullet's cold
Where the miles are marked in blood and gold
I'll meet you further on up the road

[Verse 2]
Got on my dead man's suit and my smiling skull ring
My lucky graveyard boots and a song to sing
I got a song to sing, keep 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's dark and the night is cold
One sunny morning we'll rise, I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Now I've been out in the desert, just doing 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
So let's take the good times as they go
And I'll meet you further on up the road
[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

[Outro]
One sunny morning we'll rise, I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road
