Down Home

Alabama

1. Just off of the beaten path
   A little dot on a state road map   
   A little dot on a stateroad map
   That's where I was born & where I'll die
   Things move at a slower pace
   Nobody's in a rat race
   And these days that's a special way to fly

R: Down Home where they know you by name and treat you like family
   Down Home a man's good word & 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

2. In the corner of a hardware store
   Old men telling lies & crowning kings
   Kids drivin round the old town square
   Tops rolled down in the cool nite air
   Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen

R: Down Home where they know...

   When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
   But now I wanna see my children raised
   
   Folks know if they're 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 & 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
   
   Way Down Home
