Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 a big old smile, yeah
And meanwhile
[Chorus]
Down home
Oh, you know Mama'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, 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 making you proud
'Cause I know you're up there looking 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 bumping Charley Pride
Yeah, every song keeps you right here with me
I got a daughter now, I really wish you'd have met
And 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
[Chorus]
That down home
Oh, you know Mama'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, 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 making you proud
'Cause I know you're up there looking down home
[Bridge]
Daddy, don't you worry, oh, no (Down home)
'Cause everything, everything, everything's good (Down home)
Down home, yeah (Down home)
And oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Down home
Oh, you know Mama'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, I put a nice little payment
Down home
Is still where my heart is
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
'Cause I know you're up there looking down home
Down home
Down home
[Outro]
We still miss you
We still miss you
We miss you down home
