Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, in the town where I was raised
The clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from
[Verse 2]
You could lie on a riverbank
Or paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from
[Verse 3]
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
[Verse 4]
We learned in the Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine, too
Back where I come from
[Verse 5]
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TVs, the were black and white
Back where I come from
[Verse 6]
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
[Verse 7]
Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow way
But I make it a point to say
That's where I come from
[Verse 8]
That's where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
[Verse 9]
Back where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
(I'm proud) I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
[Verse 10]
(That's where I come from)
(That's where I come from)
(That's where I come from)
(That's where I come from)
