Love At The End Of The Road Lyrics - Measure Of A Man - Kevin Sharp

(Sam Tate/Annie Tate) 

The farm was still standing at the end of the road 

And the mailbox still carried our name 

In spite of the dust and the weeds and the dust 

The old place looked almost the same 

The screen door was slamming real slow in the wind 

Like it did 'bout this time each November 

Like someone applauding the end of a dream 

That no one could seem to remember 

When she came around from the side of the house 

She looked likde the day we first met 

And before I could speak she was there in my arms 

Sayin' something I'll never forget 

She said, I knew you'd come back 

My heart told me so 

Men like you search every corner on earth 

When there's love here at the end of the road 

It was hard to believe he was 71 

The way that he still got around 

His station was still full service, by gosh 

And he'd fixed every car in this town 

I stood in the door and saw nothin' had changed 

That stubborn old son-of-a-gun 

Not the clock on the wall not the soda machine 

Or the sign that said, "Miller & Son" 

He said, I knew you'd come back 

My heart told me so 

Men like you search every corner on earth 

When there's love here at the end of the road 

The roof needed mending and the walls needed paint 

But the stained glass still gave them a glow 

I couldn't bear one more unanswered prayer 

So I turned and I started to go 

Then I heard a voice from the back of the room 

That would make any sinner believe 

And the words that He spoke they went right to my soul 

And brought me right down to my knees 

She said, I knew you'd come back 

My heart told me so 

Men like you search every corner on earth 

When there's love here at the end of the road
