On a three 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 headin 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   The courthouse clock it still dont work   Where a man's word means everything   Where moms and dads were high school flings   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 wasn't 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   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 truck's a ford and the tractor's green   And Amazing Grace is what we sing   Well there's a county fair every fall   And your friends are there every time you call   Yeah It may not sound like much but it's    Where I'm from      And as we stood to claim the bags we checked   He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that   Italian suits haven't always been my style   See I was quarterback of my high school team   We took state back in '63   And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen      Cause Im from the front pew of a wooden white church   A courthouse clock that still dont work   Where a man's word means everything   Where moms and dads wear high school flings   Gave their children grandmothers maiden name   Yes it may not sound like much    I said it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from   it's where i'm from   Where Im from   Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......
