end of the road:

. . . an idiom indicating that something expires, finishes, gives out, terminates—is at a dead end. The idiom end of the line has the same meaning. A picture is worth a thousand words: The following picture is a painting by Bob Glover titled End of the Road. It's the end of line, so to speak, for a tree struck by lightning. And, the tree is at the end of a dirt road as it peters out where there are fields that were once plowed farmland, but no more.
