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
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 its said and done
Well I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Verse 2
We learned in 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
TV's they were black and white, back where I come from
-Chorus-
Some say it's a backward place, narrow minds on a narrow ways
But I make it a point to say, that's where I come from
-Chorus-
That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Back where I come from (repeat 3X and fade)
