Down Home

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 Am 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 Am 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 Am 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
Down Home
