Вступление
[Intro]
When I was a boy
[Verse 1]
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
Down the road, I made up reasons to go down the road
[Verse 2]
Somewhere inside of me, there was something she took a liking to
And I asked her to marry me and she said she really wanted to
Down the road, and see what life's gonna hold, down the road
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
