Intro: D

(Verse 1)
      D               
I was baptized at the Baptist Church
  C9
My old man taught me bout a hard day's work
G                                        D
I learned how to love and learned how to fight
              D
It's where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer
C9                      G
Underneath a .44 and if we do you wrong 
                        D
We'll damn sure make it right

(Chorus)
         C9  G                 D
It's the only   place that I call home
   C9                G               D
No matter where in this country I might roam
               C9                   G               D
It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows
         C9  G                 D
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)

C9  G  D (2X)

(Bridge)
   C9            G                 D
My roots are buried deep here in this little town
    C9                  G                    D
And one of these days it's where they'll put me in the ground


(Repeat Chorus)

Ending: 
         C9  G                 D
It's the only   place that I call home
D  D  C9  G  D
