Down Home lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Down Home lyrics Just off of the beaten path a little dot on a state road map That s where I was born and where I ll die Things move at a slower pace, nobody s in the rat race And these days that s a special way of life Down home, where they know you by name and treat you like family Down home, a man s good word and a hand shake 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 the hardware store, gathered round a checkerboard Old men tellin lies and crowning kings Kids drivin down the old town square tops rolled down in the cool night air Go and see what s shakin at the dairy queen Down home, where they know you by name and treat you like family Down home, a man s good word and a hand shake 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 When I was a boy, I couldn t wait to leave this place But now I want to 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 and a hand shake 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 song lyrics
