In the town where i was raised
Clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where i come from.

You can lie on a riverbank
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 is said and done,
I?m proud as anyone that?s where i come from.

We learned in a sunday school
Just 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 is said and done,
I?m proud as anyone that?s where i come from.

Some say it?s a backwards place
Narrow minds on a narrow race
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 is said and done,
I?m proud as anyone that?s where i come from.

That?s where i come from
I?m an old tennesseean
I am as proud as any one that?s where i come from

Back where i come from
Back where i come from
Back where i come from
