Family Farm Friday #63: That's What I Call Home

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want." ~ Andy Warhol

We've got a quick blog today. Why, you ask? Well becuase I've been busy getting laundry and packing done for my little journey to College Station this weekend to cheer on my Pokes and see my BFF and Cousin Kevin! I'll be back with lots of stories next week, no doubt!

I love Blake Shelton. I mean, seriously love him. I'd marry him tomorrow of Miranda didn't already do that. I want to hate her out of jealousy, but look how freaking cute she is at the beginning of this video? Now I just want to be her friend. Dang it!

Anyhow, I came across this song last week that I had never heard before. it reminded me of home, so I thought I'd share!






































































That's What I Call Home, by Blake Shelton

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
