Where I Come From

Don't you dare go runnin' down my little town where I grew up

And I won't cuss your city lights

♪

If you ain't ever took a ride around

And cruised right through the heart of my town

Anything you say would be a lie

♪

We may live our lives a little slower

But that don't mean

I wouldn't be proud to show ya

Where I come from

There's an old plow boy out turning up dirt

Where I come from

There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt

Where I come from

Well, a couple of boys fight in the parking lot

No, nobody's gonna call the cops

Where I come from

♪

See that door right there, man I swear

It ain't never been locked

And I can tell you that it never will

That old man right there in the rocking chair

At the courthouse square I'll tell you now

He could buy your fancy car with hundred dollar bills

Don't let those faded overalls fool ya

He made his bands without one day of schoolin'

Where I come from

There's a pickup truck with the tailgate down

Where I come from

The pine trees are singing a song of the south

Where I come from

That little white church is gonna have a crowd

Yeah, I'm pretty damn proud

Of where I come from

♪

Where I come from

There's a big ole' moon shining down at night

Where I come from

There's a man done wrong gonna make it right

Where I come from

There's an old plow boy out turning up dirt

Where I come from

There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt

Where I come from

When a couple of boys

Fight in the parking lot

No, ain't nobody gonna call the cops

Yeah, that river runs

Across that Oakland rock

Where I come from
