Home Is Where A Kid Grows Up Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 the 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
