It may be down the south in Alabama   Or maybe just a little old one horse town   It could be on the back streets of Chicago   But if it's home it's still the greatest place around      Home's where the kid grows up and spends his younger days   Home is where I long to be no matter how far away      There may be an old sweetheart still there waitin'   Can't tell I might even find a few old friends   I know my mom and dad would like to see me   And know I want so much to go back home again      Home's where the kid grows up and spends his younger days   Home is where I long to be no matter how far away      It may be down the south in Alabama   Or maybe just a little old one horse town
