Down Home 
By Alabama 
 
 
G               D  
Just off of the beaten path 
C                  D  
A little dot on a state road map 
C                  D                 G 
That's where I was born & where I'll die 
G                 D  
Things move at a slower pace 
C             D  
Nobody's in a rat race 
  C                       D             G 
And these days that's a special way to fly 
 
 
C    G                                    C                D   
Down Home where they know you by name and treat you like family 
C    G                               C                 D  
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need 
C     Em                                    C                 A          
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on 
G                  C   D    G 
Those of us raised up Down Home 
 
 
G                    D 
In the corner of a hardware store 
C                  D  
Gathered round a checker board 
C               D                G 
Old men telling lies & crowning kings 
G                     D   
Kids drivin round the old town square 
C                       D 
Tops rolled down in the cool nite air 
C                 D                   G 
Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen

When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place 
    D            C               D 
But now I wanna see my children raised 
 
 
C    G          C      D 
Down Home

Down Home
