Dat Road - Blues

Though dat road be hot an' dusty,
Though dat road be hot an' dusty,
Jus' keep yo' feet a'movin' over dat scorched land.

'Cause if you keep a'movin',
'Cause if you keep a'movin',
Ain't no one gonna get you down.

Jus' look at dem rocks an' smile,
Jus' look at dem rocks an' smile,
'Cause God can strike dem rocks an' bring water outta dem.

So when dat road is endin',
So when dat road is endin',
Look ahead an' see da water dis road has led you to.
