"Home" is the title of a song written and recorded by American country music artist Alan Jackson. A moderate up-tempo in which Jackson recalls his and his parents' upbringing as a child in the state of Georgia, "Home" was originally recorded by him on his 1989 debut album "Here in the Real World". The original 1989 recording served as the B-side to three of Jackson's singles: his debut single "Blue Blooded Woman", as well as his first two Number One hits "I'd Love You All Over Again" and "Don't Rock the Jukebox".

Jackson included "Home" in 1995 for his first Greatest Hits package, "The Greatest Hits Collection". The song served as the B-side to that album's first two singles ("Tall, Tall Trees" and "I'll Try"), finally being issued in 1996 as the album's third single. In mid-1996, "Home" reached a peak of #3 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.
