(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 Ill never forget



She said, I knew youd come back

My heart told me so

Men like you search every corner on earth

When theres 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 hed 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 youd come back

My heart told me so

Men like you search every corner on earth

When theres 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 couldnt 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 youd come back

My heart told me so

Men like you search every corner on earth

When theres love here at the end of the road
