INTRO:   [C]   [F]   [C]   [F]

In a [C]small town in Georgia, over [G]forty years ago
[F]Her maiden name was Musick when she [C]met that Jackson [G]boy
[F]They married young like folks did then
Not a [C]penny to their [F]name
But they [C]believed the one you vowed to love
Should [G]always stay the [C]same

On the land his daddy gave them a found[G]ation underway
[F]For a love to last forever or [C]until their dying [G]day
[F]They built a bond that's strong enough to [C]stand the test of [F]time
And a [C]place for us to turn to when our [G]lives were in a [C]bind

CHORUS:
And they [G]made their house from a tool shed
Granddaddy [F/C]rolled down on two [C]logs
And they [G]built walls all around it
And they [F/C]made that house a [G]home
And they [F]taught us about good living
[C]They taught us right from wrong
Lord they'll [C]never be another place in this [G]world
That I'll call [C]home

My mama raised 5 children, 4 girls [G]then their was me
[F]She found her strength with faith in [C]God and love of fami[G]ly
[F]She never had a social life, [C]home was all she [F]knew
Except [C]the time she took a job to [G]pay a bill or [C]two

My daddy skinned his knuckles on the [G]cars that he repaired
[F]He never earned much money, but he [C]gave us all he [G]had
[F]He never made the front page but he [C]did the best he [F]could
And folks drove their cars from all around
To let him [G]look underneath the [C]hood

CHORUS

[F]No they'll [C/Stop]never be another place in this [G/Stop]world
That I'll call [F]home

OUTRO:   [C]   [G]   [C]   [F]   [C]
