home is where a kid grows up

it may be down the south in alabama

or maybe just a little old one horse 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. 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.
