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 its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
We learned in the 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
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
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 its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Back where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well Im 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
