Back Where I Come From

[Verse 1]

Well in the town where I was raised

The clock ticked and the cattle grazed

Time passed with amazing grace

Back where I come from

[Verse 2]

You can lie on a river bank

Paint your name on a water tank

Miscount all the beers you drank

Back where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from

Where I'll be when it's said and done

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

[Verse 3]

We learned in Sunday school

Who made the sun shine through

I know who made the moonshine too

Back where I come from

[Verse 4]

Blue eyes on a Saturday night

Tan legs in the broad daylight

TV's they were black and white

Back where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from

Where I'll be when it's said and done

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

[Verse 5]

Some say it's a backward place

Narrow minds on a narrow wage

But I make it a point to say

That's where I come from

[Chorus]

Back where I come from

Where I'll be when it's said and done

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

[Bridge]

That's where I come from

I'm an old Tennessean

Well I'm proud as anyone

[Outro]

That's where I come from
