Down HomeBob Seger

Songwriter: Bob Seger

Producer: Bob Seger Punch Andrews

[Verse 1]
Chicago Green she was the ice cube queen of blue
She got a tip from Aunt Mary, said Jason 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

[Verse 2]
Little Willy was Chicago's boyfriend, a local screw
He done kicking trippy hippies in the head with his hobnail shoe
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
Down home

[Verse 3]
Well it was early 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

[Outro]
Down home, get it in now (Down home)
Down home (Down home)
Down home, in the morning (Down home)
Down home, bring it in (Down home)
Down home (Yeah)
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home

Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home
Down home

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
