Down Home
By Alabama

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