The dogwood trees
The southern breeze
Sets my mind a'spinning
This is the only life
I've ever known

Surrounded by the evening
And the kind of folks I love
Oh it's good, Lord it's good
To be down home

Down home
Where smiling faces shine
Like a morning dew
My fondest memories lie here
I was born here and I'll die here
With my heart full of happiness
And you

Down home
Where smiling faces shine
Like a morning dew
My fondest memories lie here
I was born here and I'll die here
With my heart full of happiness
And you
