Well, in the town where I was raised
The clock ticks and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from

You can lie on a river bank
Paint your name on a watertank
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
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

We learned in the Sunday school
Who made the sun shine 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 daylight
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
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say
That's where I come from

Back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

That's where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
Well, I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Back where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well, Im 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
