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
|
