Home

In a small town down in Georgia

Over forty years ago

Her maiden name was Musik

Till she met that Jackson boy

They married young like folks did then

Not a penny to their name

But they believed the one you vowed to love

Should always stay the same

And on the land his daddy gave him

A foundation underway

For a love to last forever

Or until their dying days

They built a bond that's strong enough

To stand the test of time

And a place for us to turn to

When our lives were in a bind

And they made their house from a tool shed

Grandaddy rolled down on two logs

And they built walls all around it

And they made that house a home

And they taught us about good living

They taught us right from wrong

Lord, there'll never be another place

In this world I'll call home

My momma raised five children

Four girls and there was me

She found her strength and faith in God

And a love of family

She never had a social life

Home was all she knew

Except the time she took a job

To pay a bill or two

My daddy skinned his knuckles

On the cars that he repaired

He never earned much money

But he gave us all he had

He never made the front page

But he did the best he could

And folks drove their cars from miles around

To let him look underneath the hood

And they made their house from a tool shed

Grandaddy rolled down on two logs

And they built walls all around it

And they made that house a home

And they taught us about good living

They taught us right from wrong

Lord, there'll never be another place

In this world I'll call home

No there'll never be another place

In this world that I'll call home
