Back Where I Come from

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
