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
'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
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

Merle Haggard Down At The End Of The Road Comments
This had to be about his marriage to Theresa and the impending birth of their daughter Janessa. I know they left the house boat because of the baby girl and fear of her around water. Then you hear him sing about his boy born in Dec. 1992. That is his youngest birthday. Wow what a songwriter. His life is woven in all his songs. What a talent. The greatest writer, husband( to Theresa ) father, to all his children and mortal man that ever lived. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song!!!
He almost soounds like David Allan Coe on this one.
Not an incorrect word written yet after reading all that wrote before me!!!
reminds me of growing up on Lincoln Street in Gallipolis, Ohio
@Mr1962KDSelvis well said.. very well said!
Soothes my worried soul to hear anything new from the Hag. To see the world through his eyes is to see it all and see it from a human perspective. Keep 'em comin' Merle. We'll listen to every last word.
