Merle Haggard
Down At The End Of The Road
[Verse 1]
I was looking for a place to hang my hat
And a place to lay me down my heavy load
I found it in the woods in a cabin on a hill
Down at the end of the road

[Verse 2]
We were looking for a place to raise a child
'Cause she'd soon be giving birth, the one that showed
And we found it in the woods in a cabin on a hill
Down at the end of the road

[Chorus]
Down at the end of the road
Down at the end of an old country road
We found what we needed for the family we would raise
Down at the end of the road

[Verse 3]
A girl was born, December 23rd
Just one day short of Christmas Eve
And through the years, we tried to move many different times
But we landed on the place we couldn't leave

[Verse 4]
So we prayed to God that we might have a son
And he was born December '92
And we keep looking for a place to move away, move away
But leaving was a thing we couldn't do
[Verse 5]
Twenty years flew by like twenty days
And the blessings grew from the initial seed we'd sown
Our kids will soon be leaving now and they'll leave us here behind
Down at the end of the road

[Chorus]
Down at the end of the road
Down at the end of an old country road
We found what we needed for the family we would raise
Down at the end of the road
