Back Where I Come From

Well, in the town where I was raised

The clock ticks 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

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

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

We learned in Sunday school

Who made the sun shine through

I know who made the moonshine 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

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

Some say it's a backward place

Narrow minds on a narrow wage

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

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

Back where I come from

I'm an old Tennessean

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

That's where I come from

That's where I come from

That's where I come from
