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.
You could lie on a riverbank,
or paint your name on a water tank,
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.
well I'm proud as anyone,
That's where I come from.
We learned in a 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 it's said and done.
Well 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.
Well I’m proud as anyone,
that's where I come from.
Back where I come from
I'm an old tennessean
(I'm proud) Well 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
