lyrics

The End of the Line
© Cliff Westfall 2018

VERSE 1
I left home when my dreams weren’t any bigger than I was
I couldn’t see past the next exit sign
But I was already learning how to set my first bridges burning
I was already headed for the end of the line
CHORUS 1
Yeah, the end of the line, that’s where you’re gonna find me
Somewhere beyond the point of no return
With no margin, no forgiveness, not a soul to be your witness
No return ticket from the end of the line

VERSE 2
Well my mama always told me that my daddy was a wild one
And when she looked at me, she couldn’t keep from crying
‘Cause she knew that nothing short of nothing left was gonna do me
I was born with a ticket to the end of the line

BRIDGE
Now sometimes I get up so high it’s hard to come back down
And I never know I’m crashing till I’m climbing from a hole in the ground
But I’ve seen it all and more than one eight ball that I’ve been standing right behind
Born with a ticket to the end of the line

VERSE 3
Well I could tell by the look in her eye that she would have me
And having me, she’d take me for everything that’s mine
What a small price to pay when all I had was a destination
The one thing we had in common, the end of the line

The end of the line, that’s where you’re gonna find me
Somewhere beyond the point of no return
With no margin, no forgiveness, not a soul to be your witness
No return ticket from the end of the line
No return ticket from the end of the line…

about

Cliff Westfall image

Cliff Westfall New York, New York

New York-based, Kentucky-bred country songwriter Cliff Westfall writes songs about heartache, loss, addiction – you know, funny songs. Or he can dive into a sentimental weeper.

He delivers them all with the wit that, for Westfall, is central to country music. His songs are bitingly acerbic, dependent on the twisty puns, bittersweet humor, and turns of phrase that used to define country music. ... more
