A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road I'm gonna lay down this heavy load A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road I'm gonna lay down this heavy load A little farther on down the road I've been walking many miles Had my share of troubles and trials I'm heading for a heavenly prize That I will see with my own eyes A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road I'm gonna lay down this heavy load A little farther on down the road The road is narrow, rugged, and steep The mountains are high, the valleys are deep I can't stop now, I gotta move on I think I see the lights of home
A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road I'm gonna lay down this heavy load A little farther on down the road Farther along we'll know all about it Farther along we'll understand why So cheer up my brother Live in the sunshine We'll understand it... A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road I'm gonna lay down this heavy load A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road A little farther on down the road I'm gonna lay down my heavy load A little farther on down the road Just a little farther on down the road A little farther down the road A little farther on down the road
