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
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from
Back where I come from
Where Ill be when its said and done
Well Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
We learned in a Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine too
Back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TVs they were black and white
Back where I come from
Back where I come from
Where Ill be when its said and done
Well Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
Some say its a backward place
Narrow minds on the narrow way
But I make it a point to say
Thats where I come from
Thats where come from
Where Ill be when its said and done
Well Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
Back where I come from
Im an old Tennessean
Im proud Im proud as anyone
Thats where I come from
Thats where I come from
Thats where I come from
Thats where I come from
