Back Where I Come From

1. Well in the town where I was raised
The clock ticked 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
Miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from.

[Chorus:]
Back where I come from
Where i'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from.

2. We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine 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.

[Chorus]

* 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.

[Chorus]

That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone.

That's where I come from.
