I grew up in a small town
A wheat field for a downtown kinda place
There was really not much around
You blink and you miss it
I never knew what life would bring
But I always had big dreams
I loved to play my guitar and sing
And every night I would wish that
I'd get a shot on the Opry stage
And have people come and see me play
Blastin' on the radio waves
Enough to make my momma cry
CHORUS
'Cause that's where I come from That's who I am
Hard workin' and God blessed "Yes, sir", "Thank you, ma'am"
The best things around that I have ever seen
Came from small towns and big dreams
That small town went and grew up
Been around the world, don't matter anywhere I go
Even here in Vancouver
I've found my kind of folks
It's about you and who you are
It's all a state of mind
And as I'm giving you my heart I hope you find
'Cause that's where I come from, that's who I am
Just look around you'll see just what I mean
The best things around that I have ever seen
