Back Where I Come From

In the town where I was raised The clock ticks and the cattle graze Time passed with amazing grace Back where I come from 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 Back where I come from Where I'll be when it's said and done I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from We learned in Sunday school Who made the sun shine through I know who made the moonshine too Back where I come from Blue eyes on a Saturday night Tan legs in the broad daylight TVs, they were black and white Back where I come from Back where I come from Where I'll be when it's said and done I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from Some say it's a backward place Narrow minds on the narrow way 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 it's said and done I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from Back where I come from I'm an old Tennessean (I'm proud) I'm 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)
