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 I'll be when it's said and done.
‘ ll 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.
‘ ll 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 come from
where I'll be when it's said and done.
‘ll I’m proud as anyone,
that's where I come from.

Back where I come from
I'm an old tennessean
'll I'm proud as anyone
