Intro: D5

(Verse 1)
      D5               
I was baptized at the Baptist Church
  C5
My old man taught me bout a hard day's work
G5                                        D5
I learned how to love and learned how to fight
              D5
It's where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer
C5                      G5
Underneath a .44 and if we do you wrong 
                        D5
We'll damn sure make it right

(Chorus)
         C5  G5                 D5
It's the only   place that I call home
   C5                G5               D5
No matter where in this country I might roam
               C5                   G5               D5
It's where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows
         C5  G5                 D5
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)

C5  G5  D5 (2X)

(Bridge)
   C5            G5                 D5
My roots are buried deep here in this little town
    C5                  G5                    D5
And one of these days it's where they'll put me in the ground


(Repeat Chorus)

Ending: 
         C5  G5                 D5
It's the only   place that I call home
D5  D5  C5  G5  D5
