Alan Jackson

 

In a small town down in Georgia, over forty years ago

Her maiden name was Musick when she met that Jackson boy

They married young like folks did back then, not a penny to

their name

But they belived the one you vowed to love

should always be the same

 

On the land his daddy gave them a foundation underway

For a love to last forever or untill their dying day

They built a bond that's strong enough to stand test the 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 two logs

And they built walls alround it and they made that house of home

 

They taught us about good living

They taught us right from wrong

Lord there'll never be another place in this world

That I'll call home

 

My mama raised 5 chiildren, 4 girls then there was me

She found her strength with faith in God and love of family

She never had a social life, home was all she knew

Execpt the time she took a job to pay a bill or two

 

My daddy skinned his knuckles on the cars he repaired

He never earned much money, but he gaves 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

 

(Chorus)

 

No there never be another place in this world I'll call home
