There's a rock in the road and a ditch on the side
And a steep hill that must be climbed
It's a big heavy load and it measures too wide
And a destination that's hard to find
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
There just no getting round it, this trouble I bear
I will get over, I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over
There's a stop sign ahead and it's slippery when wet
And a detour at every turn
There's a narrowing bridge and a long threatening ridge
And a big-old landslide that bars return
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over
'Till that sweet day I find it and know that I'm there
I will get over
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
There's just no getting round it this trouble I bear
I will get over
There's a wreck on the right and it's getting on night
And my headlights, they won't turn on
All the brakes have been worn
And the b**per's been torn
And my pride and patience are all but gone
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air, ooh
I'm gonna make it
I will get over
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Till that sweet day I find it and know that I'm there
I will get over
I will get over
And a steep hill that must be climbed
It's a big heavy load and it measures too wide
And a destination that's hard to find
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
There just no getting round it, this trouble I bear
I will get over, I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over
But
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Till I climb up that mountain and breathe heaven's air
I will get over
