Now I saw a man stand up one day and fight to save his life,
just a common worker, supporting his kids and his wife,
he put a plug in his jug things looked up for sure
but the whole damn thing of it was there is no blasted cure

chorus: I've seen a few men go "The Road of the Righteous"
and a few have traveled "This Old Lonely Path"
I've seen a few men go "The Road of the Righteous"
by God I'm sure we'll see some more "go there blessed way"

Hey it's gonna, take some foot work to get you on your way,
they'll be pit-falls and some cat-calls but hard you must persist,
cause life is so precious and we have only got one shot,
so if you move along and you stay God strong all the treasures will be got

chorus:

Now I say a man stand up one day and fight to save his life

but the whole damn thing of it was there is no blasted cure
