Well, in the town where I was raised   The clock ticks and the cattle graze   Time passed with amazing grace   Back where I come from      You could lie on a riverbank   Or paint your name on a water tank   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 a 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 the narrow way   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   Well, I?m proud as anyone   That's where I come from      That's where I come from   I'm an old Tennessean   (I'm proud)   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
