[Verse 1]
In small town down in Georgia
Over 40 years ago
Her maiden name was Musik
'Til 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
[Verse 2]
And on the land his daddy gave him
A foundation underway
For a love to last forever
Or until their dying 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
[Chorus]
And they made their house from a tool shed
Granddaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it
And they made that house a home
And 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
[Verse 3]
My mama raised five children
Four girls, and there was me
She found her strength and faith in God
And a love of family
She never had a social life
Home was all she knew
Except the time she took a job
To pay a bill or two
[Verse 4]
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 them look underneath the hood
[Chorus]
And they made their house from a tool shed
Granddaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it
And they made that house a home
And 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
[Outro]
There'll never be another place in this world
That I'll call home
In small town down in Georgia
