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