Well I was baptized at the baptist church

And my old man taught me 'bout a hard day's work

I learned how to love, learned how to fight

It's where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer

Underneath the forty-four

And if we do you wrong we damn sure make it right

It's the only place that I call home

No matter where in this country I might roam

It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows

It's the only place that I call home

Your word is good on a handshake

Preacher still talks about a judgment day

People gonna stop when a funeral passes by

We say "yes sir" and say "yes ma'am"

Answer the call from uncle sam

Hit a bully in the nose if he crosses the line

It's the only place that I call home

No matter where in this country I might roam

It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows

It's the only place that I call home

My roots are buried deep here in this little town

And one of these days it's where they'll put me in the ground

It's the only place that I call home

No matter where in this country I might roam

It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows

It's the only place that I call home

It's the only place that I call home yeah
