in Georgia over forty 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
Should always stay that same
And on the land his daddy gave
him, a foundation under way
For a love to last forever
They built a bond that's strong
enough to stand the test of time
And a place for us to turn to when
And they made their house
Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught is right and wrong
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,
Except the time she took a job,
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
To let him look underneath the hood
And they made their house
Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it
And they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught is right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home
No there'll never be another
