Don't You Know I'm from Here

I could get here with my eyes closed and one hand on the wheel But I like to see the rows and rows of corn it makes me feel Like a kid again, I slowly watch my hometown reappear I know my accent's gone but I would not put you on Don't you know I'm from here? I left here full of vinegar back in '99 Guitar in my back seat, big time on my mind My desire to leave the old me in the dust Could not have been more sincere I looked down my nose at friends, turns out I might need them again Don't you know I'm from herе? Don't you know I'm from here? They didn't еven crack a smile Don't you know I'm from here? Though I've been gone for a while Maybe this little town looked better in my rearview mirror Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here? So I went down to the grocery store for gasoline and Coke There used to be a greasy spoon downstairs where you could smoke One side was a hardware shop With a little ice cream counter in the rear But it does not look the same and nobody knows my name Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here? They didn't even crack a smile Don't you know I'm from here? Though I've been gone for a while Maybe this little town looked better in my rearview mirror Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here? Well, I've never been a quitter, but I know when I've been beat And it soothes my wounded pride to feel this dirt under my feet So I'm looking for a job, nobody's hiring That's been made perfectly clear I'll find one eventually I know, cause I've got nowhere else to go Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here? They didn't even crack a smile Don't you know I'm from here? Though I've been gone for a while Maybe this little town looked better in the rearview mirror Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here? Don't you know I'm from here?
