In small town down in Georgia Over forty years ago Her maiden name was Musey 'Till she met that Jackson boy They married young like folks did then Not a penny to their name They believed the one you vowed to love Should always stay the same 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 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 home And 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 home My mama raised five children Four girls and there was me She found her strength in faith of 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 And 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 Folks drove the cars from miles around And let 'em look underneath the hood 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 home And 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 home There'll never be another place In this world that I'll call home
