There's a house that's a little run down This city ain't never found It's miles and miles from a paved road That's where we grew up Seven children raised on love When life gets hard that's where we go
[chorus] Daddy don't know a stranger A handshake and he's your friend Oh and Mama she's an angel She'll hold you tight till the heartache ends Just a place made of nails and wood But it's the love that makes you feel so good That's what I call That's what I call home
Daddy built it with his own two hands Overlooking his grandpa's land Now through the years a lot has changed But driving up this gravel road I get that feeling in my soul I thank God some things still remain
[Repeat chorus]
Once I get myself through that old screen door The world can't touch me anymore
