Down The Road With Mac Mcanally

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 momma 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 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



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
