On a 3 hour flight from Memphis to LA 

I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade 

Laughing at my jeans and my boots beside those high dollar shoes and armani suits 

When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free 

So if you'd like the first one can be on me 

He said I'm heading back from business, in New York and Rome 

Tell me son where do you call home 



I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church 

A courthouse clock that still dont work 

Where a mans word means everything 

Where moms and dads were high school flames and 

Gave their children Grandmothers maiden name 

Yes, it may not sound like much 

But its where I'm from 



So we Drank that round and then another 

There wasnt a topic in this world we did not cover 

He said I headed out west when I was barely 19 

Just a kid chasing my dreams 

And I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother 

He's been fighting the cancer they discovered 

But he called last night and said I think this is the end 

So come take me home to my family and my friends 



Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen 

The trucks a ford and the tractor's green 

And amazing grace is what we sing 

Where theres a county fair every fall 

And your friends are there no matter when you call 

It may not sound like much but its where I'm from 



And as we stood to claim the bags we checked 

He said ill pray for your brother and did I mention that 

Italian suits havent always been my style 

See I was the quarter back of my high school team 

We took state back in 63 and my wife well she is still my homecoming queen 



Cuz I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church 

A courthouse clock that still dont work 

Where a mans word means everything 

Where moms and dads were high school flames 

Gave their children Grandmothers maiden name 

Yes, it may not sound like much 

I said it may not sound like much 

But its where I'm from 



Its where I'm from 



Its where I'm from
