Further on up the road

Someone's gonna hurt you

like you hurt me

Further on up the road

Someone's gonna hurt you

like you hurt me

Further on up the road, baby

Just you wait and see.

You gotta reap just what you sow,

that old saying is true.

You gotta reap just what you sow,

that old saying is true.

Just like you mistreat someone,

someone's gonna mistreat you.

You been laughing, pretty baby,

someday you're gonna be crying.

You been laughing, pretty baby,

someday you're gonna be crying. 

Further on up the road, you're

gonna find out I wasn't lying.

Further on up the road someone's

gonna hurt you like you hurt me;

Further on up the road someone's

gonna hurt you like you hurt me.

Further on up the road, baby,

just you wait and see!

[ Clapton's guitar playing represents for

this performance the transition in Roots Music
