SUNNY ROAD
Recorded by Bill Staines on "Redbird's Wing" (1988)

1. I've been up and I've been down,
I've seen trouble all around.
I've fought the wind off a stormy sea.
But through the trouble and the strife
I've walked a mile or two through life
With the sun shining down on me.

CHORUS: And I will sing my song until I've nothing to say.
I will play this old guitar until I die someday.
I will travel here and there until I make my way
To that long last sunny road.

2. I've been a rambler in my time,
Met a poet with a rhyme
Seeking shelter around the bend,
And once or twice, to my surprise,
it seems with cold and clouded eyes
I've met a stranger and I've found a friend.

3. Well I've had my share of wine,
Picked strawberries from the vine
And I've not known which way to go.
Seen my share of bummer deals,
Laid me down in tender fields
Where the sweet summer roses grow.
