Intro: D
(Verse 1)
D
I was baptized at the Baptist Church
Cadd9
My old man taught me bout a hard day's work
GD
I learned how to love and learned how to fight
D
It's where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer
Cadd9G
Underneath a .44 and if we do you wrong
D
We'll damn sure make it right
(Chorus)
Cadd9GD
It's the only place that I call home
Cadd9GD
No matter where in this country I might roam
Cadd9GD
It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows
Cadd9GD
It's the only place that I call home
(Verse 2)
You're word is good on a handshake
Preacher still talks about a judgement day
People gonna stop when a funeral passes by
We say, "Yes, sir," and say, "Yes, ma'am"
Answer the call from Uncle Sam
And hit a bully in the nose if crosses a line
(Repeat Chorus)
Cadd9GD (2X)
(Bridge)
Cadd9GD
My roots are buried deep here in this little town
Cadd9GD
And one of these days it's where they'll put me in the ground
(Repeat Chorus)
Ending:
Cadd9GD
It's the only place that I call home
