Capo 2
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
Down the road
I made up reasons to go
Down the road
[Verse]
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 lifeâs gonna hold
Down the road
[Bridge]
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 could let her go
Down The Road
[Instrumental] (x4)
, ,
[Verse]
Now down the street from here, Thereâs an engineer with an only son
And our baby girl says, She believes that he is the only one
Down the road
[Bridge]
Her momma wants to know, If he s washed in the blood or just in the water
And I wanna to know, If I make enough to take his daughter
[Chorus 2]
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
