(Rick Bowles - Josh Leo)

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.

Chorus:
Down Home, where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home, a mans 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 on a checkered board
Old men telling lies and crownin' kings.
Kids drivin' round the old town square
Cops roll down int he cool night air
Go and see what's shakin' at the Dairy Queen.

Chorus:
Down Home, where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down Home, a mans 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 wanna see my children raised.

Down Home.

Down Home.

Folks know, if there 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 mans good word and a handshake 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 Homew...
