Gretchen Wilson - Pocahontas Proud lyrics

Your rating:

I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois
Everybody thought of me as one of the boys
'Cause I'd run with a croud that was tough

At fifteen I was tending Big O's Bar
I'd sing 'til 2 AM for a half full tip jar
Spent my youth singing truth, paying dues

I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down
If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know, I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud

I knocked on every door on music row
But they looked down at me and said: "Girl, go back home"
You ain't got what we need in this town

But they couldn't whup the fighting side of me
You know, where I come from, we don't give up easily
Overnight took all my life to be found

I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down
If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know, I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud 
Pocahontas proud

At twenty seven I had baby Grace
I was born again when I saw her sweet face
And I knew she was the greatest thing I'd ever do

I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down
If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground
I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down
If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know, I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud

I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois
I was raised in
Pocahontas proud
I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
Pocahontas proud
