In the town where I was raised

The clock ticks and the cattle graze

Time passed with Amazing Grace

Back where I come from

Now you can lie on a riverbank

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

I'm proud as anyone

Back where I come from

We learned in 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 day light

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

I'm proud as anyone

Back where I come from

Some say it's a backward place

Narrow minds on a narrow way

I make it a point to say

That that's where I come from

That's where I come from

Where I'll be when it's said and done

I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

Back where I come from

I'm an old Tennessean

And I'm proud as anyone

That's where I come from

That's where I come from

That's where I come from
