In a small town down in Georgia
Over forty years ago
Her maiden name was Musik
Till she met that Jackson boy
They married young like folks did then
Not a penny to their name
But they believe the one you vow to love
Should always stay the same
And on the land his daddy gave him
A foundation under way
For a love to last forever
Or until their dying day
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
They taught us about good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home
My momma raised five children
Four 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
Except 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
They taught us about good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home
No there'll never be another place
In this world that I'll call home
