She met this guy
She thought was kinda goodlooking
Yes, she met this guy
She thought he was funny sometimes

He's momma and daddy had a little money tucked away
There was something about
To come down the line
To come down the line

He had a job that you couldn't call a working
She had Cuban boyfriend out of town
She do anything in the world not to hurt him
Oh, on down the line
Imagine that
Oh, on down the line

Well, the old man caught her
He moved out last summer
Yeah, she was down for awhile,
But she came around with time

She met a guy at work
She thought was kinda goodlooking
On down the line
Down the line
Down the line

Right down the line
Oh, on down the line
Oh, on down the line
