Well in the town where I was raised,
the clock ticked 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 water tank
Miscount all the beers you drank,
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
We learned in 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
[Chorus]
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
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
[Chorus]
Back where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well Im proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Born and raised in Knoxville Tennessee. Moved to south Florida when I was ten, still here. I miss Tenn. Love this song, when I here it close my eye and I can see the creeks and mountians.
