in the town where i was raised
clock ticks and the cattle graze
time passed with amazing grace
back where i come from.

you can lie on a riverbank
paint your name on a water tank
miss count all the beers you drank
back where i come from.

back where i come from,
where i´ll be when it is said and done,
i´m proud as anyone thats where i come from.

we learned in a sunday school
just 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

back where i come from,
where i´ll be when it is said and done,
im proud as anyone thats where i come from.

some say its a backwards place
narrow minds on a narrow ways
but i make it a point to say thats where i come from.

thats where i come from,
where i´ll be when it is said and done,
i´m proud as anyone thats where i come from.

thats where i come from
im an old tennesseean
i am as proud as any one thats where i come from

back where i come from
back where i come from
back where i come from
