There's A Rugged Road

Lyrics

There's a rugged road on the prairie
 Stretchin' all across the last frontier
 There a stranger strives solitary
 Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
 Roll on, roll on, roll on
 Night birds are flyin'
 Come on, the light is gone
 Hope's slowly dyin'
 Tell me how you come ridin' through
 Still surveyin' the miles yet to run
 On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
 ♪
 She can blaze a trail, through the rumblin'
 Dims her guiding light to just a spark
 When the hour is low, she comes tumblin'
 When the moon is high she gives her heart
 Roll on, roll on, roll on
 Night birds are flyin'
 Come on, the light is gone
 Hope's slowly dyin'
 Tell me how you come ridin' through
 Gainin' steady till this round is won
 On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
 ♪
 People far below chasin'pleasures
 Offer her directions on the run
 Prophets on the path offertreasures
 Though she's mighty hungry she takes none
 Roll on, roll on, roll on
 Night birds are flyin'
 Come on, the light is gone
 Hope's slowly dyin'
 Tell me how you come ridin' through
 Blindly faithful but followin' none
 On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
 ♪
 When the sun goes down at the right time
 She comes windin' through the purple haze
 Just a feather's touch in the nighttime
 But it'll color all my weary days
 Shinin' finer than this earthly sun
 On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
 On the ragged rugged road to kingdom come
