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 Where I'll be when it's said and done And I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from We learned in the 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 Tanned legs in the broad daylight TVs, 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 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) And I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from That's where I come from That's where I come from That's where I come from
