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

Highway 20 ride

I ride east every other Friday but if i had it my way Days would not be wasted on this drive And i want so bad to hold you Some of the things I haven't told you Your mom and me just couldn't get along So i'll drive And I'll think about my life And wonder why, I'll slowly die inside Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and i count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride A day might come and you'll realize that if you could see through my eyes There was no other way to work it out And a part of you might hate me But son please don´t mistake me For a man that didnt care at all So i'll drive And I'll think about my life And wonder why, I'll slowly die inside Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and i count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride So when you drive And the years go flying by I hope you smile If i ever cross your mind It was a pleasure of my life And i cherished every time And my whole world It begins and ends with you On that Highway 20 ride....
