down home - Jimmie Allen

I bet you’re up there, making new friends

I’m pretty sure you’re loving every minute

If there’s a golden pond full of fish

I bet you already caught everything in it

I bet you’re making everybody laugh with your jokes

I know you’re holding nothing but the best kind of hope

Shining a light up there with a big old smile

And meanwhile down home

Oh, you know mama’s still cooking

Them down home grits

I promise I’m working

With this guitar about as hard as I can

I met a girl, bought a house, put a nice little payment

Down home is still where my heart is

This down home kid is just how you left him

I still hate that you’re gone

I wish you were here

But I hope I’m making you proud

'Cause I know you’re up there looking down home

There ain’t a day down here that goes by

That I don’t climb up in my F-150

On a backroad bumping Charley Pride

Yeah, every song keeps right here with me

I got a daughter now I really you’d have met

She’s almost walking now but I know you see every step

I wear the number 15 every chance I get

So when you’re looking through the clouds, Daddy

You can bet

That down home

Oh, you know mama’s still cooking

Them down home grits

I promise I’m working

With this guitar about as hard as I can

I met a girl, bought a house, put a nice little payment

Down home is still where my heart is

This down home kid is just how you left him

I still hate that you’re gone

I wish you were here

But I hope I’m making you proud

'Cause I know you’re up there looking down home

Oh, down home

Daddy, don’t you worry

'Cause everything, everything, everything’s good

Down home

Oh yeah

Down home

That down home

Oh, you know mama’s still cooking

Them down home grits

I promise I’m working

With this guitar about as hard as I can

I met a girl, bought a house, put a nice little payment

Down home is still where my heart is

This down home kid is just how you left him

I still hate that you’re gone

I wish you were here

But I hope I’m making you proud

'Cause I know you’re up there looking down home

Oh, down home

We still miss you

We still miss you

We miss you down home
