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

[Chorus]
 G          A
Down the road 
 G           A
I made up reasons to go 
 G          A    D
Down the road 

[Verse]
D           A                     G                     D     A
Somewhere inside of me, there was something she took a liking to
D                     A            G               D     A
And I asked her to marry me, She said she really wanted to

[Chorus]
 G          A
Down the road 
 G            A
To see what life’s gonna hold 
 G         A    D
Down the road 

[Bridge]
Bm                   A                         G                   D  A
Her momma wants to know, If I'm washed in the blood or just in the water 
Bm                  A               G                   D    A
Her daddy wants to know, If I make enough to take his daughter 

[Chorus]
 G         A
Down the road
 G           A
Before he could let her go
 G         A     D
Down The Road

[Instrumental]
G  D  A    x4

[Verse]
D              A                            G                D    A
Now down the street from here, There’s an engineer with an only son 
D             A         G                            D    A
And our baby girl says, She believes that he is the only one 
D         A
Down the road 

[Bridge]
Bm                   A                         G                    D  A
Her momma wants to know, If he's washed in the blood or just in the water 
Bm              A               G                   D    A
And I wanna to know, If I make enough to take his daughter 

[Chorus 2]
 G         A
Down the road 
 G              A
When it comes time to go 
 G         A    D
Down the road 
 G          A
Down the road 
G                 A
You know I wanna help her go 
 G         A     D
Down the road 

[Outro]
G                A     D
Down, down, down that road 
G              A       D
Down, down, down that road
