- Down Home Lyrics / with translationsJust 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
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
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
