In the town where I was raised The clock ticks and the cattle graze And time passed with amazing grace Back where I come from You could lie on a river bank Paint your name on a water tank Miss count 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 any one Thats where I come from We learned in a Sunday school Who made the sunshine 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 day light 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 Thats where I come from Some say it's a backwards place Narrow minds on the narrow ways 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 tennesseean 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
