Down Home

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