IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN GEORGIA
OVER FORTY YEARS AGO
HER MAIDEN NAME
WAS MUSICK
TILL SHE MET THAT
JACKSON BOY
THEY MARRIED YOUNG
LIKE FOLKS DID THEN
NOT A PENNY
TO THEIR NAME
AND 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 DYIN' DAYS
HE BUILT A BOND
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 TOOLSHED
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 LIVIN'
AND TAUGHT US
RIGHT FROM WRONG
LORD THERE'LL
NEVER BE
ANOTHER PLACE
IN THIS WORLD
THAT I'LL CALL HOME
4 BAR BREAK
MY MAMA RAISED
FIVE CHILDREN
FOUR GIRLS
AND THERE WAS ME
SHE FOUND
HER STRENGTH
AND FAITH IN GOD
AND THE 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
AND FOLKS
DROVE THEIR CARS
FROM MILES AROUND
TO LET HIM
LOOK UNDERNEATH
THE HOOD
AND THEY MADE
THEIR HOUSE
FROM A TOOLSHED
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 LIVIN'
AND TAUGHT US
RIGHT FROM WRONG
LORD THERE'LL
NEVER BE
ANOTHER PLACE
IN THIS WORLD
THAT I'LL CALL HOME
LORD THERE'LL
NEVER BE
ANOTHER PLACE
IN THIS WORLD
THAT I'LL CALL HOME
