Down the Road

[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

Well, 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 mama wants to know

Am I 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

[Instrumental Break]

[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

[Refrain]

Down the road

[Verse 5]

Her mama 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]

Down the road

When it comes time to go

Down the road

Down the road

You know I wanna help her go

Down the road

[Outro]

Down, down, down that road

Down, down, down that road
