Jason & The Scorchers - Close Up The Road Lyrics

As I went out to meet my maker As I went down that narrow road The daughter of the local shaker Walked ahead of me whispering in my ear And singing this song Close up the road Clear the shelf and empty out the store Close up the road Pull the cover up a little bit more As I went out to cross the river The river slow and deep and wide The angels sang about the givers But on the other side the ferryman laughed As he was singing this song As I went out to climb the mountain The mountain hard and steep and cold I thought I saw the Golden Fountain But when the fog let up All that I could do was just a whistle this song Jason & The Scorchers Lyrics Close Up The Road Lyrics
