Well, it was out on Payne's Prarie where I got my first kiss   There's the schoolyard where we would play as kids   We pulled arrowheads out of Hogtown Creek   And when the cops came around, we'd all hide our drinks      Where I come from   It's a little like heaven   And I can't stay gone too long   Where I come from   Where I come from   Yeah (yeah)      We could waterski out on Melrose Bay   We could wear flip-flops on Christmas Day   Yeah, and when we had enough cash for gasoline   Then we would all skip school and go to Crescent Beach      Yeah, where I come from   It's a little like heaven   And I can't stay gone too long   Where I come from   Where I come from   Yeah      There's the old graveyard where my loved ones lie   And the church still stands where I was baptized   It's the place I go when I can't think clear   So when my time is up, please bring me back here      Back to where I come from   Cause it's a little like heaven   And I can't stay gone too long   Where I come from      Yeah, where I come from (Where I come from)   It's a little like heaven, yeah   And I can't stay gone too long   Where I come from (Where I come from)   Where I come from (I come from)
