Further on down the road, baby, you will accompany me
Further on down the road, baby, you will accompany me
When I think back, your love was like a sun
Don't remember no dark days, remember the warm, warm fun
Further on down the road, baby, you will accompany me

The fools in life, oh woman, a happy fool I would rather be
Oh baby, I'll be glad to learn from you
Darling, I know you'll be glad to learn from me
If we get down and things get sad
We can cheer up each other
And grin 'cause things just ain't that bad
If we're fools in life, a happy fool I would rather be

Day by day, just one step, one step at a time
'Cause woman, you have given me so much
Just to ease this stubborn old aching heart of mine
I don't care where they came from
Don't care what they might say
Woman, you've been loving in my corner all of the way
Day by day, the magical kind that's flowing all of the time

Further on down the road, baby, you will accompany me
Further on down the road, you will accompany me
When I look back, your love was like a sun
I don't remember no cold days, remember the warm, warm fun
Further on down the road, baby, you will accompany me

Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh darling
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh darling
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh darling
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh darling
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh darling
