Back Where I Come From
Well in the town where I was raised,
the clock ticks and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace,
Back where I come from
You can lie on a river bank,
paint your name on a water tank
or Miscount all the beers you drank,
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back where I come from
Where Ill be when its said and done
Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
We learned in the Sunday school,
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
TVs they were black and white,
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back where I come from
Where Ill be when its said and done
Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
Some say its a backward place,
narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say,
thats where I come from
[Chorus]
Thats where I come from
Where Ill be when its said and done
Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
Back where I come from
Im an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
Thats where I come from
Thats where I come from
Thats where I come from
