Well I walked many places in this great world
There were many things that I was told
I've felt the mercies of the judges
I've felt the pressure from the forces
I been high
I been low
I moved fast
I moved slow
I been kind
I been cruel
I been full
Been low on fuel
Well I danced with many girls in different towns
I always found a way to keep moving on
I gained the praises from their mummies
I been respected by their daddies
I been cool
I been wild
I acted crazy
I acted mild
I been stoned
I been sheltered
I had calm
Had helter skelter
    I been there and I went where
    No one else would ever care
    or even dare to go
    I been up yeah I been down
    Never got lost but I found
    Things no one else would ever know
But everywhere else that I been
Had I lose, had I win
There's no comparative feeling
Like the one I'm always needing
So I'll just keep believing
That it's there where I'm heading....
                                                         Downhome
                                                     Where they all know me by name
                                                         Downhome
                                                     Where I know every game
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where the streets smile at me
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where I know I am free
                                                        Just to beeeeeee...DownHome!
   And the times that I had there
   Are always on my mind everywhere
   Anywhere I may roam
   The memories that I hold close
   Is what will always come first
   First in my mind
There was no safer place
There are no better faces
There could never be better times
And there's no new starting line
No matter how far I see
Part of me, will always be..........
                                                         Downhome
                                                     Where they all know me by name
                                                         Downhome
                                                     Where I know every game
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where the streets smile at me
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where I know I am free
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where the eyes are familiar
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where the feelings are forever
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where the music springs my root
                                                         Downhome
                                                      Where I'll find the truth....
