There's a rock in the road and a ditch on the side And a steep hill that must be climbed It's a big heavy load and it measures too wide And a destination that's hard to find (Chorus: I WILL GET OVER) But I will get over I'll make it there There just no getting round it, this trouble I bear I will get over, I'll make it there 'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air I will get over (Chorus: ROCK IN THE ROAD) But I will get over I'll make it there 'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air I will get over There's a stop sign ahead and it's slippery when wet And a detour at every turn There's a narrowing bridge and a long threatening ridge And a big-old landslide that bars return (Chorus: I WILL GET OVER) But I will get over I'll make it there 'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over 'Till that sweet day I find it and know that I'm there I will get over (Chorus: ROCK IN THE ROAD) But I will get over I'll make it there There's just no getting round it this trouble I bear I will get over There's a wreck on the right and it's getting on night And my headlights, they won't turn on All the brakes have been worn And the bumper's been torn And my pride and patience are all but gone (Chorus: I WILL GET OVER) But I will get over I'll make it there 'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air I will get over I'll make it there 'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air, ooh I'm gonna make it I will get over (Chorus: ROCK IN THE ROAD) But I will get over I'll make it there 'Till that sweet day I find it and know that I'm there I will get over I will get over
