Farther Along Wade Bowen

[Verse 1]
Tempted and tried will oft' me to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong

[Chorus]
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

[Verse 2]
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

[Chorus]
Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all by and by

[Verse 3]
Often I wonder why I must journey
Over a road so rugged and steep
While there are others living in comfort
While with the lost I labor and weep
