Down Home

Just off of the beaten path
 A little dot on the state road map
 That's where I was born and where I'll die
 Things move at a slower pace
 Nobody's in a 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 handshake are all you need
 Folks know
 If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home
 Those of us raised up down home
 In the corner of the hardware store
 Gathered round on a checkered board
 Old men telling lies and crownin' kings
 Kids drivin' round the old town square
 Cops roll 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 home
 Those of us raised up down home
 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 there fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
 Those of us raised up
 Down home
 Where they know you by name and treat you like family
 Down home
 A mans good word and a handshake are all you need
 Folks know
 If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home
 Those of us raised up
 Down home
 Down home
 Way down home
 Down home
 Down home
 Way down home
