Down Home

Just off of the beaten path

A little dot on the state road map

That's where I was born and where I'll die

Things move at a slower pace

Nobody's in a rat race

And these days that's a special way of life

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 home

Those of us raised up down home

In the corner of the hardware store

Gathered round on a checkered board

Old men telling 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

Down home

Where they know you by name and treat you like family

Down home

A man's good word and a hand shake are all you need

Folks know

If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home

Those of us raised up down home

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

Folks know

If there fallin' on hard times they can fall back home

Those of us raised up

Down home

Where they know you by name and treat you like family

Down home

A mans good word and a handshake are all you need

Folks know

If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home

Those of us raised up

Down home

Down home

Way down home

Down home

Down home

Way down home
