(Verse)
I bet you're (G)up there, makin' new friends
I'm pretty (D)sure you're lovin' every minute
If there's a (Em)golden pond full of fish
I bet you (C)already caught everything in it
I bet you're (G)making everybody laugh with your jokes
I know you're (D)holding nothing but the best kind of hope
Shining a (Em)light up there with a big old (G)smile, (C) yeah
(Chorus)
(C) And meanwhile, down (G)home, oh, you know mama's still cooking
Them down (D)home grits
I promise I'm working with this gui-(Em)tar about as hard as I can
I met a (C)girl, bought a house, I put a nice little payment
Down (G)homе is still where my heart is
This down (D)homе kid is just how you left him
I still (Em)hate that you're gone, I wish you were here
But I hope I'm (C)making you proud
'Cause I know you're up there looking down (G)home (D)
(Verse)
There ain't a (G)day down here that goes by
That I don't (D)climb up in my F-150
On a (Em)backroad bumping Charley Pride
Yeah, every (C)song keeps you right here with me
I got a (G)daughter now I really wish you'd have met
Yeah, she's (D)walking now but I know you see every step
I wear the (Em)number 15 every chance I get
So when you're (C)looking through the clouds, Daddy, you can bet
(Chorus)
That down (G)home, oh, you know mama's still cooking
Them down (D)home grits, I promise I'm working
With this gui-(Em)tar about as hard as I can
I met a (C)girl, bought a house, I put a nice little payment
Down (G)homе is still where my heart is
This down (D)homе kid is just how you left him
I still (Em)hate that you're gone, I wish you were here
But I hope I'm (C)making you proud
'Cause I know you're up there looking down (G)home

(Break)
Daddy, don't you (G)worry, aw no
'Cause (D/F#)everything, everything, everything's good
(Em)Down home, yeah
And (C)oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
(Chorus)
Down (G)home, oh, you know mama's still cooking
Them down (D)home grits, I promise I'm working
With this gui-(Em)tar about as hard as I can
I met a (C)girl, bought a house, I put a nice little payment
Down (G)home is still where my heart is
This down (D)homе kid is just how you left him
I still (Em)hate that you're gone, I wish you were here
But I hope I'm (C)making you proud
'Cause I know you're up there looking down (G)home
(Outro.)
Down (D)home, down home, (Em) yeah
We still (C)miss you, we still miss you
We miss you down (G)home - - - - -
