Mac McAnally - Down the Road lyrics

[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
