(As recorded by Glen Campbell)

(From the movie 'Norwood')



The dogwood trees

The southern breeze

Sets my mind a'spinning

This is the only life

I've ever known



Surrounded by the evening

And the kind of folks I love

Oh it's good, Lord it's good

To be down home



Down home

Where smiling faces shine

Like a morning dew

My fondest memories lie here

I was born here and I'll die here

With my heart full of happiness

And you



Down home

Where smiling faces shine

Like a morning dew

My fondest memories lie here

I was born here and I'll die here

With my heart full of happiness

And you
