In the town where I was raised The clock ticks and the cattle graze Time passed with Amazing Grace Back where I come from Now you can lie on a riverbank 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 Back 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 day light 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 I'm proud as anyone Back where I come from
Some say it's a backward place Narrow minds on a narrow way I make it a point to say That 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 And I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from That's where I come from That's where I come from
