Down Home · letra

Verse 1

Just off of the beaten path A little dot on a state road map That's where I was born and where I'll die Things move at a slower pace Nobody's in the rat race And these days, that's a special way of life
(Chorus) Down home Where they know you by name and treat you like family Down home A man's good word and a handshake are all you need Folks know If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back on Those of us raised up down home

Verse 2

In the corner of the hardware store Gathered 'round a checker board Old men tellin' lies and crownin' kings Kids drivin' 'round the old town square Cops roll down in the cool night air Go and see what's shakin' at the Dairy Queen
(Chorus) Down home Where they know you by name and treat you like family Down home A man's good word and a handshake are all you need Folks know If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back on Those of us raised up down home

Bridge

When I was a boy, I couldn't wait to leave this place But now I wanna see my children raised Down home Down home

Chorus

Folks know If there fallin' on hard times, they can fall back on Those of us raised up Down home Where they know you by name and treat you like family Down home A man's good word and a handshake are all you need Folks know If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back on Those of us raised up down home

Outro

Down home Way down home Down home Down home Way down home Down home
