down at the end of the road
Singer:haggard, merle
i was looking for a place to hang my hat
and a place to lay me down my heavy load
down at the end of the road
we were looking for a place to raise a child
'cause she'd soon be giving birth
and we found it in the woods
down at the end of the road
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
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
so we prayed to god that we might have a son
and he was born december '92
and we keep lookin' for a place to move away
but leavin' was a thing we couldn't do
20 years flew by like 20 days
and the blessings grew from the initial seed we'd sown
our kids will soon be leavin' now
they'll leave us here behind
down at the end of the road
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
