Intro:  G  D  2x 
  
G                 D 
In the town where I was raised 
Bm                     C 
The clock ticks and the cattle graze 
G                D 
Time passed with Amazing Grace 
Bm                C
Back where I come from 
G                D 
You can lie on a riverbank 
Bm                  C 
Paint your name on a water tank 
G                   D 
Miscount all the beers you drank 
Bm                C 
Back where I come from 
  
CHORUS
D          C 
Back where I come from 
G                      C 
Where I'll be when its said and done 
D            C 
I'm proud as anyone 
G                   D 
That's where I come from 

G D Bm C

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 daylight 
TV's, they were black and white, 
Back where I come from 

CHORUS

BRIDGE
G               D
Some say it's a backward place, 
Bm              C
narrow minds on a narrow wage 
G               D
But I make it a point to say, 
Bm              C
that's where I come from 

CHORUS

Back where I come from 
I'm an old Tennessean 
Well I'm proud as anyone 
That's where I come from

That's where I come from (repeat)
