Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet's cold
 Where the miles are marked in the blood and 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 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 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, 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 morning we'll rise I know
 And I'll meet you further on up the road
