[Intro]
When I was a boy
[Verse 1]
Four houses down from me
Was a family with an only child
She was the only girl
In this whole world that could make me smile
[Chorus]
Down the road
I made up reasons to go
Down the road
[Verse 2]
Somewhere inside of me
There was something she took a liking to
And I asked her to marry me
She said she really wanted to
[Chorus]
Down the road
To see what life's gonna hold
Down the road
[Verse 3]
Her momma wants to know
If I'm washed in the blood or just in the water
Her daddy wants to know
If I make enough to take his daughter
[Chorus]
Down the road
Before he can let her go
Down the road
[Verse 4]
Now down the street from here
There's an engineer with an only son
And our baby girl says
She believes that he is the only one
[Bridge]
Down the road
[Verse 5]
Her momma wants to know
Is he washed in the blood or just in the water
And I wanna know
That he makes enough to take my daughter
[Chorus][x2]
[Outro]
Down, down, down that road
Down, down, down that road
