Karaoké Down Home Alabama

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

Down home

Where they know you by name and treat you like family

Down home

A man's 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

In the corner of the hardware store

Gathered 'round a checker board

Old men tellin' lies and crownin' kings

Kids drivin' 'round the old town square

Cops roll 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 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

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 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 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 home, hey yeah

Down home
