I do not count what I've lost, what I'm losing
I'm a traveller with no fixed abode
All of the gifts yesterday spent refusing
May well be waiting further down the road

I tried to take every chance I was given
But if luck's a lady she never showed
There's more to life than just making a living
My life is waiting further down the road

Refrain:
Further down the road
I can see the light
Further down the road
Everything 'll be all right
Further down the road
I will be free
Further down the road
Heaven waits for me

All of the years chasing smoke-rings and rumour
Looking for seed that had never been sown
Old Father Time has a strange sense of humour
He'll hear me laughing further down the road

Refrain
