C                            
In small town down in Georgia
G                   
Over forty years ago
F                        
Her maiden name was Musey
          C                G  
'till she met that Jackson boy
F                                     
They married young like folks did then
      C              F   
Not a penny to their name
C                                      
They believed the one you vowed to love
G                      C   
Should always stay the same
                          C       
And on the land his daddy gave him
  G                  
A foundation underway
      F                   
For a love to last forever
C                    G   
Or until their dying days
F                                     
They built a bond that's strong enough
C                   F   
To stand the test a time
      C                      
And a place for us to turn to
         G             C   
When our lives were in bind


[Chorus]
    G                                    
And they made their house from a toolshed
F                               
Grandaddy rolled out on two logs
G                                 
And they built walls all around it
    F              G           
And they made that house a home
F                                   
And they taught us 'bout good living
C               F               
■ And taught us right from wrong
C                              G    
Lord there'll never be another place
                             C    F
In this world that I'll call home ■


[Verse]
C F         C                   
■ ■ My mama raised five children
               G           
Four girls and there was me
              F                       
She found her strength in faith of God
              C      G
And a love of family ■
          F                
She never had a social life
         C       F   
Home was all she knew
           C                  
Except the time she took a job
         G7      C  
To pay a bill or two
    C                            
And my daddy skinned his knuckles
G                   F       
On the cars that he repaired
                     F    
He never earned much money
C                     G  
But he gave us all he had
F                           
He never made the front page
C                           
But he did the best he could
F     C                         G     
Folks drove the cars from miles around
                                     C
And let 'em look underneath the hood ■


[Chorus]
    G                                    
And they made their house from a toolshed
F                       C       
Grandaddy rolled out on two logs
G                                 
And they built walls all around it
    F              G           
And they made that house a home
F                                   
And they taught us 'bout good living


[Outro]
C                          F    
■ And taught us right from wrong
                    C               
Lord there'll never be another place
              G         C        
In this world that I'll call home
                          G    
There'll never be another place
                   F              C
In this world that I'll call home ■
