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
