In small town down in Georgia
Over 40 years ago
Her maden name was Musey
Until she met that Jackson boyThey married young like folks did then
Not a penny to their name
They believed the one you vowed to love
Should always stay the sameAnd on the land his daddy gave him
A foundation underway
For a love to last forever
Or until their dying dayThey 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 homeAnd 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 homeMy mama raised five children
Four girls, and there was me
She found her strength in faith of God
And a love of familyShe 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 hadHe 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 hoodAnd 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 homeAnd 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 homeThere'll never be another place
In this world that I'll call home
