[Verse 1]
[C]In [F]a[C][F]
[C]small town down
in Georgia over [G]forty years ago
[F]Her maiden name was Musik
til she [C]met that Jackson boy
[G]They [F]married young like folks did then,
not a [C]penny to their [F]name
But they be[C]lieve the one
you vow to love
Should [G]always stay that [C]same

[Verse 2]
And on the land his daddy [C]gave
him, a [G]foundation under way
For a [F]love to last forever
or un[C]til 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

[Verse 3]
And they [G]made their house
from a tool shed
Grandaddy [F]rolled down on two [C]logs
And they [G]built walls all
around it
[F]And they made that house a [G]home
They [F]taught us 'bout good living
[C]They taught is right [F]and wrong
Lord there'll [C]never be
another place
[G]In this world I'll [C]call home
[F][C][F]

[Verse 4]
My [C]momma raised five children,
four [G]girls then there was me
[F]She found her strength with faith
in God and [C]love of [G]family
[F]She never had a social life,
[C]home was all [F]she knew
[C]Except the time she took a job,
[G]to play a bill or [C]two

[Verse 5]
My [C]daddy skinned his knuckles
on the [G]cars that he repaired
[F]He never earned much money
[C]but he gave us all [G]he had
[F]He never made the front page
but he [C]did the best [F]he could
And folks [C]drove their cars
from miles around
To let him [G]look underneath the hood
[C]

[Verse 6]
And they [G]made their house
from a tool shed
Grandaddy [F]rolled down on two [C]logs
And they [G]built walls all around it
And they [F]made that house a [G]home
They [F]taught us 'bout good living
[C]They taught is right and wro[F]ng
Lord there'll [C]never be another place
[G]In this world I'll call hom[C]e
No there'll never be another
place in this [G]world
That I'll [F]call home
[C]
