When I was a boy
|
Four houses down from me
|
Was a family with an only child
|
And she was the only girl in this ol' 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
|
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
|
|
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 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
|
Down the road
|
