Alabama
Rock country powerhouse Alabama hit the music scene in the late 1970s, one of the first country acts that became popular as a group and not as a single vocalist. Drawing from both pop rock and country roots, Alabama is unarguably one of the most popular country groups in history, with its uniqueblend of rock, bluegrass and country music.
Down Home (Released 1990)
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
Cho

........
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
