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 can 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 I asked her to marry me She said she really wanted to Down the road To see what life's gonna hold Down the road 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 Down the road Before he could 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 momma 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 Down, down, down that road Down, down, down that road
