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 can 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
is where when it's said and done
and i'm proud as anyone
that's where i come from
We learned in sunday school
who made the sun 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
is where when it's said and done
and 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
That's where i come from
where i'll be when it's said and done
and 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 were i come from
