​down home

[Verse 1]
I bet you're up there, makin' new friends
I'm pretty sure you're lovin' every minute
If there's a golden pond full of fish
I bet you already caught everything in it
I bet you're makin' everybody laugh with your jokes
I know you're holdin' nothin' but the best kind of hope
Shinin' a light up there with a big old smile, yeah
And meanwhile

[Chorus]
Down home
Oh, you know Mama's still cookin'
Them down home grits
I promise I'm workin'
With this guitar about as hard as I can
I met a girl, bought a house, I put a nice little paymеnt
Down home
Is still where my hеart 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 lookin' down home

[Verse 2]
There ain't a day down here that goes by
That I don't climb up in my F-150
On a backroad bumpin' Charley Pride
Yeah, every song keeps you right here with me
I got a daughter now, I really wish you'd've met
And she's walkin' now but I know you see every step
I wear the number fifteen every chance I get
So when you're lookin' through the clouds, Daddy
You can bet

[Chorus]
That down home
Oh, you know Mama's still cookin'
Them down home grits
I promise I'm workin'
With this guitar about as hard as I can
I met a girl, bought a house, I 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 makin' you proud
'Cause I know you're up there lookin' down home
Oh, down home

[Bridge]
Daddy, don't you worry (Down home, oh no)
'Cause everything, everything, everything's good (Down home)
Down home (Down home), yeah
And oh-oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Down home
Oh, you know Mama's still cookin'
Them down home grits
I promise I'm workin'
With this guitar about as hard as I can
I met a girl, bought a house, I put a nice little payment
Down home
Is still where my heart is (Oh, down home)
This down home kid is just how you left him (Oh yeah)
I still hate that you're gone
I wish you were here
But I hope I'm makin' you proud
'Cause I know you're up there lookin' down home
Down home
Down home, yeah

[Outro]
We still miss you
We still miss you
We miss you down home
