Back Where I Come From

Well, in the town where I was raised

The clock ticks and the cattle graze

Time passed with amazing grace

Back where I come from.

You could lie on a riverbank

Or paint your name on a water tank

Or miscount all the beers you drank

Back where I come from.

Back where I come from

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

Well, I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from.

We learned in a 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.

Back where I come from

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

Well, I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from.

Some say it's a backward place

Narrow minds on the narrow way

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's said and done

Well, I’m proud as anyone

That's where I come from.

Back where I come from

I'm an old Tennesseean

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from.

Back where I come from.

Back where I come from.

Back where I come from...
