 E      B     A
When I was a boy
E            B                   A
Four houses down from me, Was a family with an
E     B
only child
E           B               A
She was the only girl, In this whole world
            E          B
that could make me smile

Chorus:
A          B  A
Down the road
A          B           A
I made up reasons to go
A         B  E
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 life's gonna hold
Down the road

C#m                G#m                          A
Her momma wants to know, If I'm washed in the blood
or just in the
 E B
water
C#m                  G#m             A
Her daddy wants to know, If I make enough to take
     E    B
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 momma wants to know
Is he washed in the blood or just in the water
And I wanna know
That he makes enough to take my daughter

Chorus:
Down the road
Before he can let her go
Down the road
Down the road
Before he can let her go
Down the road

Down, down, down that road
Down, down, down that road
