Growing Up on Clemons Road

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 who could 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

And I asked her to marry me

She said she really wanted to

Down the road

To see what life’s gonna hold

Down the road

Her momma wants to know

If I’m 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

  4. people can write from other perspectives Mark! I'm just sayin that Clemons Rd. holds quite a few young men who may or may not have had crushes on Chasley
