Down Home
By Alabama
Date: December 11, 2002
A E
Just off of the beaten path
D E
B little dot on a state road map
D E A
That's where I was born & where I'll die
A E
Things move at a slower pace
D E
Nobody's in a rat race
D E A
And these days that's a special way to fly
Chorus
D A D E
Down Home where they know you by name and treat you like family
D A D E
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
D F#m D B
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
A D E A
Those of us raised up Down Home
A E
In the corner of a hardware store
D E
Gathered round a checker board
D E A
Old men telling lies & crowning kings
A E
Kids drivin round the old town square
D E
Tops rolled down in the cool nite air
D E A
Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen
Chorus
D E A D
When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
E D E
But now I wanna see my children raised
D A D E
Down Home
D A D E
Down Home
D F#m D B
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
A D E A
Those of us raised up Down Home
D E
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
D A D E
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
D F#m D B
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
A D E A
Those of us raised up Down Home
D A D E
Down Home
