HOME IS WHERE A KID GROWS UP (Merle Haggard) '67 Tree Publishing, BMI 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... It may be down the south in Alabama
