down home þarký sözü

just 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
chorus:
down home, where they know you by name
and treat you like family
down home, a man´s good word and hand shake
are all you need
folks know if they´re falling 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 telling lies and crowning kings
kids driving ´round the old town square
tops rolled down in the cool night air
go and see what´s shaking at the dairy queen
repeat chorus
bridge
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 falling on hard times
they can fall back on
those of us raised up...
repeat chorus
