Well, I was baptized at the Baptist church   And my old man taught me 'bout a hard days 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   It's the only place that I call home, yeah
