In the town where i was raised
Clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where i come from.
You can lie on a riverbank
Paint your name on a water tank
Miss count all the beers you drank
Back where i come from.
Back where i come from,
Where i’ll be when it is said and done,
I’m proud as anyone that’s where i come from.
We learned in a sunday school
Just who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too
Back where i come from
Blue eyes on a saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
Tv’s they were black and white
Back where i come from
Back where i come from,
Where i’ll be when it is said and done,
I’m proud as anyone that’s where i come from.
Some say it’s a backwards place
Narrow minds on a narrow race
But i make it a point to say that’s where i come from.
That’s where i come from,
Where i’ll be when it is said and done,
I’m proud as anyone that’s where i come from.
That’s where i come from
I’m an old tennesseean
I am as proud as any one that’s where i come from
Back where i come from
Back where i come from
Back where i come from
