Down Home - Brent Cobb, Southern Family

Early in the mornin 'fore the sun comes up

Wood’s burnin' in the stove

Coffee’s coolin' in his cup

He’s chompin at the bit to get his youngins outta bed

Check the baskets at the creek

Get the hogs and chickens fed

By the time we get to town the church crowd will be gone

Grand daddy grins

Sunday sure is a blessing when you’re livin' own home

Down home, everybody’s got one

Down home, the place that come from

Down home, something that your momma said

It ain’t just a good place for you to rest your head

On the way to pick up crickets stoppin by uncle johnnys

Askin' if he’ll take you fishin'

Oh, and he won’t probably

Aunt Dot’s got a honeydew list a mile long

She bought the pants, hemmed them up and put them on

Wears them everywhere she goes and he just tags along

Oh, cause love is unconditional when you livin' down home

Down home, everybodies got one

Down home, the place that come from

Down home, something that your daddy said

It ain’t just a good place for you to rest your head

Later in the evening with his babies back in bed

Yellow belly, bream and crickets still hoppin through our head

I’m thankin lord for grandpa and all our family

Days like today sure mean the world to me

Try and understand you have a plan when we up and go

But do we ever really need it when we’re livin' down home

Down home, heavens on a rural route

Down home, forever never runs out

Down home, its always blue skies

Down home’s angels wave when they fly by

Way down home, you can see past tomorrow

Down home, theres never any sorrow

Down home its something that jesus said

It ain’t just a good place for us to lay our head
