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