Down Home - The Bob Seger System

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 naive, 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
