Down the Road Songtext
von Mac McAnally

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 whole world that could make me smile
Down the road
I made up reasons to go
Down the road

And 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
Down the road
Let′s 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 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 the road
Down, down, down that road
Down the road
