Down Home

[Verse 1]
Chicago Green she was the ice cube queen of blue
She got a tip from Aunt Mary
Said "Child, someone's in love with you"
She was so naive, man, famous for her childlike mind
I don't believe she ever opened her bedroom venetian blinds
Already Eddie was a steady on the levee
Down home (Mmm)
Down home (Ooh)

[Verse 2]
Little Willie was Chicago's boyfriend, a local screw (Yeah)
He dug kicking trippy hippies in the head
With his hobnail shoe (Oh yeah)
Already Eddie, pitching plug pennies, dropped four bennies
He wound up in the local hole (Down home)
Without a radio (Down home)
And he wrote Aunt Mary said
"Mom, it's gettin' hairy"
Down home
Down home

[Verse 3]
Well, it was early in the morning
When Chicago bailed Eddie on out
Which shook tiny Willie
Oh man, you should have heard him shout
And they wandered off somewhere
They couldn't find their way home
And Eddie wrote home
"You know I'd really like to take her
But you know I couldn't make her"
Down home
Down home

[Outro]
Down home, get it in now (Down home)
Down home (Down home)
Down home, in the morning (Down home)
Down home, bring it in (Down home)
Down home (Yeah)
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
