Down Home

Bob Seger


Chicago Green she was 
The ice cube queen of blue
She got a tip 
From Aunt Mary, said.
Somebody was in love with you
She was so nieve
Famous for her childlike mind

I don't believe 
She ever opened 
Her bedroom venetian blinds
Already Eddie 
Was unsteady on the levee
Down Home
Down Home

Little Willy 
Was Chicago's boyfriend
A local screw
He done kicking trippy hippies 
In the head 
With his hobnail shoes
Already Eddie
Pitching for pennies
Rockin' for bennies
Wound up in the local hole
Without a radio,

And he wrote Aunt Mary said 
"Momma, it's getting hairy
Down Home."

Well it was late in the morning 
When Chicago bailed Eddie on out
Which tripped out Willie
Oh man you should've heard
him shout..
Yeah they wandered off somewhere
They couldn't find 
Their way home.
Any road home
You know I'd really like 
To take her but you know 
I couldn't make her

Down Home.
Down Home, get it in now
Down Home, in the morning
