Further Down the Road

Walking with my grandma

Heading to meet friends

Eight years old, I couldn't wait to get to them

And she was taking her sweet time

And they were having fun

So I asked her if she would let me run

I'm just going further down the road

I'll be going up around the bend

There's so much to see and do

Listen, I can hear my friends

I'll be just a little way ahead

I'm sure that you can catch up in the end

Grandma, won't you let me go?

I'm just going further down the road

Waiting with my grandma

The time is drawing near

Family gathered around

Can't hold back the tears

And she whispers, "I love you all

But heaven's calling me

I'll be waiting for you, can't you see?"

I'm just going further down the road

I'll be going up around the bend

There's so much to see and do

Listen, I can hear my friends

I'll be just a little way ahead

I'm sure that you can catch up in the end

It's time for you to let me go

I'm just going further down the road

Now she's there in heaven, so much sweeter

This is not goodbye, it's see you later

I'm just going further down the road

I'll be going up around the bend

There's so much to see and do

Listen, I can hear my friends

I'll be just a little way ahead

I'm sure that you can catch up in the end

I just need to let you know

It's time for you to let me go

I'm just going further down the road

I'm just going further down the road
