That's What I Call Home

Blake Shelton · Original Album Series [2012]

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 7 children raised onlove

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 heart ace 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 buildt 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

(Chorus)

Once i get myself through that ol' screen door

The world can't touch me anymore

(Chorus)

That's What I Call Home
