Farther Along

Farther Along - The Flying Burrito Brothers

Tempted and tried we're of made to wonder

Why it should be thus all the day long

While there are others living about us

Never molested though in the wrong

Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

When death has come and taken our loved ones

It leaves our home so lonely and drear

And then do we wonder why others prosper

Living so wicked year after year

Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand why

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

Faithful till death said our loving master

A few more days to labor and wait

Toils of the road will then seem as nothing

When we sweep through that beautiful gate

Farther along we'll know all about it

Farther along we'll understand

Why Cheer up my brother come sing in the sunshine

We'll understand it all by and by

Yeah we'll understand it all by and by
