Jimmie Allen - Down Home Lyrics

I'll bet you're up there, making' 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 making everybody laugh with your jokes
I know you're holding nothing but the best kinda hope
Shining a light up there with a big ol' smile, yeah

And meanwhile, down home
Oh, you know mama's still cooking
Them down home grits
I promise I'm working
With this guitar 'bout as hard as I can
I met a girl, bought a house
Put a nice little payment, down home
Is still there 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 you right here with me
I got a daughter now I really wish you'd have met
Yeah, she's walking now, but I know you see every step
I wear the number fifteen 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 'bout as hard as I can
I met a girl, bought a house
Put a nice little payment, down home
Is still there 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

Daddy, don't you worry (down home)
Oh no, 'cause everything
Everything (down home), everything's good
Down home (down home), yeah
Ooh yeah

Down home
Oh, you know mama's still cooking
Them down home grits
I promise I'm working
With this guitar 'bout as hard as I can
I met a girl, bought a house
Put a nice little payment, down home
Is still there where my heart is (oh)
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 making you proud (yeah)
'Cause I know you're up there looking down home

Down home, down home, yeah
We still miss you, we still miss you
We miss you down home
