Lyrics:

Track #5 of American V: A Hundred Highways (2006).
The song is a Johnny Cash’s version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Further On (Up the Road)” from the critical acclaimed album The Rising.
Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed
Where the gun is cocked 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've 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 morning, we'll rise, I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road
