GIt may be down the Csouth in AlaGbama
Or maybe just a D7little old one horse Gtown
It could be on the Cback streets of ChicaGgo
But if it's home it's D7still the greatest place Garound
Home's where a kid grows up 
And Cspends his younger Gdays
Home is where I long to be
No Cmatter how far D7away
GThere may be an old Csweetheart still there Gwaiting
Can't tell I might D7even find a few old Gfriends
I know my mom and Cdad would like to Gsee me
And know I want so much to D7go back home Gagain
Home's where a kid grows up
And Cspends his younger Gdays
Home is where I long to be
No Cmatter how far D7away
GIt may be down the Csouth in AlaGbama
Or maybe just a D7little old one horse Gtown

G C G

It may be down the south in Alabama

D7 G

Or maybe just a little old one horse town

C G

It could be on the back streets of Chicago

D7 G

But if it's home it's still the greatest place around

Home's where a kid grows up

C G

And spends his younger days

Home is where I long to be

C D7

No matter how far away

G C G

There may be an old sweetheart still there waiting

D7 G

Can't tell I might even find a few old friends

C G

I know my mom and dad would like to see me

D7 G

And know I want so much to go back home again

Home's where a kid grows up

C G

And spends his younger days

Home is where I long to be

C D7

No matter how far away

G C G

It may be down the south in Alabama

D7 G

Or maybe just a little old one horse town
