      C             F               G
I was lookin' for a place to hang my hat
      F               G             C
And a place to lay me down my heavy load
                  F           C            F
I found it in the woods, in a cabin on the hill
C           G          C
Down at the end of the road


We were lookin' for a place to raise a child
'Cause she'd soon be given birth to one that showed
And we found it in the woods in the cabin on the hill
Down at the end of the road


CHORUS:
F                      G
Down at the end of the road
F                                 G
Down at the end of an old country road
C                F              C               F
We found what we needed for the family we would raise
C           G          C
Down at the end of the road


Our girl was born December Twenty-third
Just one day short of Christmas Eve
And thru the years we tried to move many different times
But we'd landed on a 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 the thing we couldn't do

Twenty years flew by like twenty days
And the blessings grew from the initial seed we'd sown
And our kids will soon be leavin' now and they'll leave us behind
Down at the end of the road


CHORUS
