down home

(álbum: Tulip Drive - 2022)

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 the big ole smile
Yeah, and meanwhile

Down home
Oh, you know momma'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 out here that goes by
That I don't climb up in my F-150
On a back road 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 15 every chance I get
So when you're looking through the clouds, Daddy
You can bet that

Down home
Oh, you know momma'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

Daddy, don't you worry, oh no
'Cause everything, everything, everything's good
Down home yeah
Oh yeah

Down home
Oh, you know momma'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
Down home
Down home
I still miss you
I still miss you
Miss you down home
