Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Down Home

My sister is a Cajun, came from parts down in the South

The last I heard from her she said that she was getting out

Got busted and arrested 'cause I didn't like the food

I told the manager, he said I think you better move

Down home, down home

Well that's where I wanna be

'Cause it's really good to be

Down home

Got to take the night ride, I got to get away

I've had my life in trouble ever since I came this way

My Papa's in the [?], my momma's hittin' the booze

I got to pack my bags 'cause I ain't got time to lose

Down home, down home

Well that's where I wanna be

'Cause it's really good to be

Down home

Down home, down home

Well that's where I wanna be

'Cause it's really good to be

Down home
