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