There’s a house that’s a little run down This city ain’t never found It’s miles and miles from a paved road That’s where we grew up Seven children raised on love When life gets hard that’s where we go Daddy don’t know a stranger A handshake and he’s your friend Oh and Mama she’s an angel   She’ll hold you tight till the heartache ends Just a place made of nails and wood But it’s the love that makes you feel so good That’s what I call That’s what I call home        Daddy built it with his own two hands Overlooking his grandpa’s land Now through the years a lot has changed But driving up this gravel road I get that feeling in my soul I thank God some things still remain Daddy don’t know a stranger A handshake and he’s your friend Oh and Mama she’s an angel   She’ll hold you tight till the heartache ends Just a place made of nails and wood But it’s the love that makes you feel so good That’s what I call That’s what I call home Once I get myself through that old screen door The world can’t touch me anymore         Daddy don’t know a stranger A handshake and he’s your friend Oh and Mama she’s an angel   She’ll hold you tight till the heartache ends Just a place made of nails and wood But it’s the love that makes you feel so good That’s what I call That’s what I call home      That’s what I call home       That’s what I call home

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un souvenir d'enfance, celui d'une maison simple et usée, loin de l'agitation des villes. C’est un lieu où l'amour familial a toujours prévalu, où le père est accueillant et la mère, une figure réconfortante. Même si le temps a apporté des changements, revenir sur ce chemin de gravier ravive des sentiments profonds et une gratitude pour les valeurs qui persistent. Ce n'est pas simplement une maison en bois et en clous, mais un véritable foyer rempli d'affection et de chaleur. Une fois qu'on y entre, le monde extérieur devient insignifiant.
