Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
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
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 lifes 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
Down the road
Before he could let her go
Down the road
G, A repeat 3 times
* on 4th time
Now down the street from here, Theres 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 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 wanna help her go
Down the road
Down, down, down that road
Down, down, down that road
