Down Home
By Alabama

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