  • 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
    Well, I ask her to marry me
    She said she really wanted to

    Down the road
    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 could let her go
    Down the road

    And 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 wanna 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 wanna help her go
    Down the road

    Down, down, down that road
    Down, down, down that road Writer/s: Mac McAnally
