In the style of

Alan Jackson

Lyrics

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
but they believed
the one you vowed
to love should always
stay the same

and on the land
his daddy gave them
a foundation
underway
for a love to
last forever
or until their
dyin' days

they built a bond
that's 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
'bout good livin'
they taught us
right from wrong
lord there'll never be
another place
in this world
that i'll call home

my mama raised
five children
four girls
then there was me

she found
her strength
with faith in god
and a love of family

she never
had a social life
home was all
she knew
'cept the time
she took a job
to pay a bill or two

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
'bout good livin'
they taught us
right from wrong
lord there'll never be
another place
in this world
that i'll call home

no there'll never be
another place
in this world
that i'll call home
