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