ALAN JACKSON lyrics : "Home"


In small town down in Georgia
Over 40 years ago

Her maden name was Musey
Until she met that Jackson boy


They married young like folks did then
Not a penny to their name
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 day


They built a bond that's strong enough
To stand the test a time

And a place for us to turn to
When our lives were in bind


And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled out on two logs
And they built walls all around it

And they made that house a home

And they taught us 'bout good living

And taught us right from wrong
Lord, there'll never be another place
In this world that I'll call home


My mama raised five children
Four girls, and there was me

She found her strength in faith of 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

And 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

Folks drove the cars from miles around
And let 'em look underneath the hood


And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled out on two logs
And they built walls all around it

And they made that house a home

And they taught us 'bout good living

And taught us right from wrong
Lord, there'll never be another place
In this world that I'll call home


There'll never be another place
In this world that I'll call home
