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 (Ah-ah) I'll be going up around the bend (Ah-ah) There's so much to see and do Listen, I can hear my friends I'll be just a little way ahead (Ah-ah) I'm sure that you can catch up in the end (Ooh-ooh) Grandma, won't you let me go? I'm just going further down the road" Waiting with my grandma Her time is drawing near Family gathered round, 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 further down the road (Ah-ah) I'll be going up around the bend (Ah-ah) There's so much to see and do Listen, I can hear my friends I'll be just a little way ahead (Ah-ah) I'm sure that you can catch up in the end (Ooh-ooh) 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 (Ah-ah) I'll be going up around the bend (Ah-ah) There's so much to see and do Listen, I can hear my friends I'll be just a little way ahead (Ah-ah) I'm sure that you can catch up in the end (Ooh-ooh) 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, oh
