Where You Came From

Quarter tank of gasoline Wind whistling through the willow trees Heading back to your part of the state Neon of the motel signs Passing over the county line Cranes in the sky, but it all still looks the same 'Cause there's a great big world to find Out beyond that setting sun But you always remember Where you came from See the sidewalk etched in gray Where your grandfather carved his name Yeah, you got his nose and the amber of his skin And I wonder now if he could see The freeway where fields used to be That led us back to where it once began 'Cause there's a great big world to find Out beyond that setting sun But you always remember Where you came from And it all goes flying by But you gotta carry on Yeah, and always remember Where you came from Now I think I understand Who you are more than I did To see a house that once had been a home And after all the years have passed The walls they fade but the memories last And you carry the weight wherever you go There's a great big world to find Out beyond that setting sun But you always remember Where you came from And it all goes flying by But you gotta carry on Yeah, and always remember Where you came from
