Merle Haggard - Down At The End Of The Road lyrics

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 the cabin on the hill Down at the end of the road 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 the cabin on the hill 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 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 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, 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
