Where I Come From

Have you looked out on a sky line

And dreamed of open plains

Have you driven down a freeway

And longed for table drains

Been lost in a sea of faces

Drifting through the world alone

And dreamed your heart back home

And I'd ride upon the wind if it would take me

Back to the flats where my wild oats were sown

It's etched into the grain I'll bear the family name

That hangs upon the gate where I come from

As a kid I climbed the hill and dreamed of movin' on

Leave the dust of that small town and one day I'd be gone

Still too blind to see it was already part of me

Family roots run deep

And I'd ride upon the wind if it would take me

Back to the flats where my wild oats were sown

It's etched into the grain I'll bear the family name

That hangs upon the gate where I come from

When I think of that old dirt road and turnin' through the gate

It feels like comin' home

And I'd ride upon the wind if it would take me

Back to the flats where my wild oats were sown

It's etched into the grain I'll bear the family name

That hangs upon the gate where I come from

It still hangs upon the gate where I come from

Yeah, where I come from
