Home Is Where A Kid Grows Up

(Merle Haggard)



It may be down the south in Alabama

Or maybe just a little old onehorse 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 a kid grows up'

And spends his younger days

Home is where I long to be

No matter how far away.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
