In a small town in Georgia, over forty years ago,
F                                                                C                        G
    her maiden name was Musick till she met that Jackson boy.
F                                                                           C                    F
    They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name,
             C
they believed the one you vowed to love
           G                       C
should always stay the same.

           C                                                  G
On the land his daddy gave them, a foundation underway,
         F                                    C                    G
for a love to last forever or until their dying day.
F                                                                      C                      F
    They built a bond thats strong enough to stand the test of time
              C                                               G                       C
and a place for us to turn to when our lives where in a bind.

                  G
And they made their house from a tool shed,
                      F                           C
granddaddy rolled down on two logs,
                 G                                                 F                           G
and they built walls all around it and they made that house a home.
                  F                                        C                                           F
And they taught us about good living,    they taught us right from wrong,
                       C                                             G                        C

    My mama raised five children, four girls, then there was me,

    He never made the front page, but he did the best he could,
                   C
and folks drove their cars from miles around
                G                               C
to let him look underneath the hood.
