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
