Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Just  off of the beaten  path
A  little dot on a state  road map
That's  where I was born  & where I'll die
Things  move at a slower  pace
Nobody's  in a rat  race
 And  these days that's a special  way to fly
Down Home  where they know you by name and treat  you like family
Down Home  a man's good word & 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 a hardware  store
Gathered  round a checker  board
Old  men telling lies  & crowning kings
Kids  drivin round the old  town square
Tops  rolled down in the cool  nite air
Go  & see what's shakin  at the Dairy Queen
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 & 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
