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 homewhere they know you by name
And treat you like family
Down homea man s godd word and s hand shake
Are all you need
Folks knowif they;re fallnig on hard times
They can fall back on
Thos 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 th eold town square
Tops rolled down in the coll night air
Do and see what s shaking at the dairy queen
Rpeat chorus
Bridge
When i was a boyi couldn t wait to leave this place
Butnow i want to see my children raised down homedown home
Folks knowif they re falling on hard times
They can fall back on
Those of us raised up...
Repeat chorus
