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
