There's A Rugged Road
Rugged Journey: Unveiling the Lone Pioneer's Quest on the Prairie
Lyrics
There's a rugged road on the prairie
There is a challenging path on the prairie.
Stretchin' all across the last frontier
Extending across the last frontier.
There a stranger strives solitary
A stranger is striving alone.
Blessed is the lonesome pioneer
Blessed is the solitary pioneer.
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Continue, night birds are flying.
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin'
Come, the light is gone, hope is slowly dying.
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Tell me how you come riding through.
Still surveyin' the miles yet to run
Still surveying the miles yet to run.
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come.
He can blaze a trail, though the rumblin'
He can blaze a trail, though the rumbling.
Dims his guiding light to just a spark
Dims his guiding light to just a spark.
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
When the hour is low, he comes tumbling.
But when the moon is high he gives his heart
But when the moon is high he gives his heart.
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Roll on, night birds are flying.
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin'
Come, the light is gone, hope is slowly dying.
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Tell me how you come riding through.
Gainin' steady 'til this round is won
Gaining steadily until this round is won.
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come.
People far below chasin' pleasures
People far below chasing pleasures.
Offer him directions on the run
Offer him directions on the run.
Prophets on the path offer treasures
Prophets on the path offer treasures.
Though she's mighty hungry he takes none
Though she's mighty hungry, he takes none.
Roll on, roll on, roll on, night birds are flyin'
Roll on, night birds are flying.
Come on, the light is gone, hope's slowly dyin'
Come, the light is gone, hope is slowly dying.
Tell me how you come ridin' through
Tell me how you come riding through.
Blindly faithful but followin' none
Blindly faithful but following none.
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come
On the long and lonely road to kingdom come.
When the sun goes down at the right time
When the sun goes down at the right time.
He comes windin' through the purple haze
He comes winding through the purple haze.
Just a feather's touch in the night time
Just a feather's touch in the nighttime.
But it'll color all my weary days
But it'll color all my weary days.
Shinin' finer than this earthly sun
Shining finer than this earthly sun.
On the ragged, rugged road to kingdom come
On the ragged, rugged road to kingdom come.
On the ragged, rugged road to kingdom come
