Lyrics of
Down The Road

When I was a boy
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
Down the road, I made up reasons to go down the road
Somewhere inside of me, there was something she took a liking to
And I asked her to marry me and she said she really wanted to
Down the road, and see what life's gonna hold, down the road
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
Down the road, before he can let her go down the road
Inst.
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, down the road
Her mama wants to know is he washed in the blood or just in the water
And I want to know that he makes enough to take my daughter
Down the road, when it comes time to go down the road
Down the road, you know I want to help her go down the road
