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