Where the gun is cocked and the bullet's cold

[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]

And I'll meet you further on up the road
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
One sunny morning we'll rise, I know
And I'll meet you further on up the road
