[Verse 1]
Well in the town where I was raised
The clock ticked and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from
[Verse 2]
You can lie on a river bank
Paint your name on a water tank
Miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back 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
[Verse 3]
We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine too
Back where I come from
[Verse 4]
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Back 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
[Bridge]
That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well I'm proud as anyone
[Outro]
That's where I come from
Well in the town where I was raised
The clock ticked and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from
[Verse 2]
You can lie on a river bank
Paint your name on a water tank
Miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back 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
[Verse 3]
We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moonshine too
Back where I come from
[Verse 4]
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white
Back where I come from
[Chorus]
Back 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Back 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
[Bridge]
That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennessean
Well I'm proud as anyone
[Outro]
That's where I come from
