Lyrics

[ti:Down home]
[ar:Alabama]
[00:06.94] Just off of the beaten path
[00:09.49] A little dot on a state road map
[00:12.31] That's where I was born and where I'll die
[00:18.88] Things move at a slower pace
[00:21.94] Nobody's in the rat race
[00:25.07] And these days that's a special way of life
[00:30.00] Down home,where they know you by name
[00:33.56] And treat you like family
[00:36.25] Down home,a man's good word and hand shake
[00:40.20] Are all you need
[00:42.50] Folks know if they're falling on hard times
[00:46.75] They can fall back on
[00:51.00] Those of us raised up down home
[00:57.63] In the corner of the hardware store
[01:00.69] Gathered 'round a checkerboard
[01:03.44] Old men telling lies and crowning kings
[01:10.01] Kids driving 'round the old town square
[01:12.76] Tops rolled down in the cool night air
[01:16.13] Go and see what's shaking at the Dairy Queen
[01:21.32] Down home,where they know you by name
[01:24.75] And treat you like family
[01:27.38] Down home,a man's good word and hand shake
[01:31.63] Are all you need
[01:33.63] Folks know if they're falling on hard times
[01:37.94] They can fall back on
[01:42.13] Those of us raised up down home
[01:50.25] When I was a boy,I couldn't wait to leave this place
[01:56.44] But now I want to see my children raised down home,down home
[02:14.38] Folks know if they're falling on hard times
[02:18.63] They can fall back on
[02:22.82] Those of us raised up down home
[02:27.57] where they know you by name
[02:29.13] And treat you like family
[02:31.38] Down home,a man's good word and hand shake
[02:35.69] Are all you need
[02:37.63] Folks know if they're falling on hard times
[02:41.88] They can fall back on
[02:46.13] Those of us raised up down home.......
