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
