Judee Sill 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 thru,

Still surveyin' the miles yet to run,
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come.....
He can blaze the trail tho' the rumblin'
Dims his guidin' light to just a spark
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
But when the moon is high he gives his heart

Gainin' steady till this round is run,
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come....
People far below, chasin' pleasures,
Offer him directions on the run.
Prophets on the path offer treasures
And tho' he's mighty hungry, he takes none

Blindly faithful but followin' none
On the long and lonely road to Kingdom Come....

When the sun goes down at the right time,
He comes a-windin' thru the purple haze
Just a feather's toucn in the night time,
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....
