Words by Ballard MacDonald

The sheet music:
Lyrics
I’m just as weary, as weary can be
Little old Main Street, you’d look good to me
I didn’t know when I told you goodbye
How I would miss you, I’m just learning why
CHORUS
At the end of the road
The long, dusty road
There’s peace, there’s contentment and rest
And a cottage of white
If memory serves me right
With a welcome from those I love best
I’m going back to Indiana
And I nevermore will roam
From the end of the road
The long dusty road
That leads to Home Sweet Home
2. Shadows are rising and through memory’s haze
Oh! what a picture appears to my gaze
Cool shady lanes where the summer breeze blows
Bidding me come to its heart and repose
