lyrics

Down Home

May you be kind, to those who are not your kind
And don’t listen to anybody whose gospel leaves room for hate
You know loving your enemies is written in the good book
The one you claim to follow boy, too little, but not too late

Maybe we all just need a little time in the trees
Blow up your TV and turn off your phone
And we’ll sit real still until we’ve had our fill
Because there’s nothing like feeling down home

There’s nothing like the feeling (x3)
Of down home
So if your life is unappealing and you need a little healing
Go on spend a little time
Down home

May you be kind even when you’re speaking your mind
Lord knows everybody has got to speak their mind these days
Any point that is worth making can still be made while being kind
So come down from your cross man and I’ll come down from mine

Maybe we all just need a little time at the creek
Stop pointing fingers, buddy throw me a bone
Pass the bottle until, we’ve all had our fill
Because there’s nothing like the feeling of down home

There’s nothing like the feeling (x3)
Of down home
So if you’re sick with frustration at the state of your nation
Go on spend a little time down home
Yeah if you’re in a consternation and you need a quick vacation
Go on spend a little time down home
