Lyrics
Home Is Where A Kid Grows Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 waiting
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
