When I was a boy
E B A E B
Four houses down from me, Was a family with an only child
E B A E B
She was the only girl, In this whole world
that could make me smile
Chorus
E B
Down the road
E B A
I made up reasons to Go
E B
Down the road
E B A E B
Somewhere inside of me, there was something
she took a liking to
E B A E B
And I asked her to marry me, She said she really wanted to
Chorus

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

Before he could let her Go
E B
