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
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
well I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from
<Interlude>
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
Well I'm proud as anyone
that's where I come from
<Interlude>
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 I come from
where I'll be
when it's said and done
Well I’m proud as anyone
that's where I come from
That's where I come from
I'm an old tennessean
(I'm proud)
Well I'm proud as anyone
that's where I come from!
Back where I come from
Back where I come from
Back where I come from

Yes, you are now rocking,
you are now rocking,
