Down Home Runs Deep

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, it's been a long time Since I flew past that welcome sign Smelled the sweet of them pines And it's honeysuckle, belt buckle paradise Oh, that wrap-around town you thought that you owned Where you learned how to live, yeah, until you got gone And you think that you change, but you find that you don't 'Cause you can't outrun what you're raised up on [Chorus] You can't take the good out of the good ol' boy Can't fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl Don't know a day without breaking out Some "Hell yeah," some "Yes, ma'am," some "Hey, y'all" Good Lord's the first one you thank When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank You might not stay, but you don't ever leave When your down home runs deep [Verse 2] Those Friday night lights They're shining just a little bit brighter now And that cotton ball sky Looks the same, but there's a few more looking down And I hope that I'm making 'em proud and I'm showing 'em how Yeah, I'm showing 'em how [Chorus] You can't take the good out of the good ol' boy Can't fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl Don't know a day without breaking out Some "Hell yeah," some "Yes, ma'am," some "Hey, y'all" Good Lord's the first one you thank When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank You might not stay, but you don't ever leave When your down home runs deep [Bridge] Well, that wrap-around town you thought that you owned Where you learned how to live, yeah, until you got gone And you think that you change, but you find that you don't 'Cause you can't outrun what you're raised up on [Chorus] You can't take the good out of the good ol' boy Can't fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl Don't know a day without breaking out Some "Hell yeah," some "Yes, ma'am," some "Hey, y'all" Good Lord's the first one you thank When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank You might not stay, but you don't ever leave When your down home runs deep When your down home runs deep
