Camdenton

Yeah, I used to help old Matt Webster up at Farris's Fruit Mart

When they needed an extra hand in the summer on a watermelon truck

And they paid me 20 dollars and an ice-cold soda pop

And we learned us a couple dirty jokes and a lot about growin' up

Just another reason if you ask me where I'm from

No matter where I'm livin' under this old sun

The answer's always just west of Camdenton

And I found Jesus at First Baptist in the third from the last pew

He's been a pretty good teacher, like ol' Jack Crowe and Miss Mary Lou

And I love to see them birthdays on Dairy Queen's marquee sign

And the bright lights of the JOD in the fall on a Friday night

Just another reason if you ask me where I'm from

No matter where I'm livin' under this old sun

The answer's always just west of Camdenton

It's where I learned to ride my bike, how to swing a baseball bat

How to tie on a crappie jig and to talk just like my dad

And spaceships don't always have to fly

And there's probably a million other reasons why

But if you ask me where I'm from

No matter where I'm livin' under this sun

The answer's always just west of Camdenton

So if you ask me where I'm from

No matter where I'm livin' under this sun

The answer's always just west of Camdenton

The answer's always just west of Camdenton
