Song

Further On (Up the Road)

Johnny Cash

American V: A Hundred Highways, 2006, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed
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, 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 mornin' 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
Searchin' 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
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
