Content



The song is about the narrator telling the story of his childhood growing up in a rural area or a small town ('"Just off of the beaten path/A little dot on a state road map/That's where I was born and where I'll die"'). The song continues by paying homage to the generally tighter knit social integrity of such rural developments ('"Down home, where they know you by name and treat you like family/Down home, a man's good word and a hand shake/Are all you need"').
