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 the riverbank
Paint your name on the water tank
Miscount all the beers you drank
Back where I come from
Yeah, back where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
And I'm as proud as anyone
That's where I come from
We learned in 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
TVs, they were black and white
Back where I come from
Yeah, back where I come from
Back where I come from


Where I'll be when it's said and done
And I'm as proud as anyone
That's where I come from
guitar solo
Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on the narrow way
But I make it my way
With a point to say
That's where I come from
Yeah, that's where I come from
Where I'll be when it's said and done
And I'm as proud as anyone
That's where I come from
Back where I come from
I'm an old Mississippian
And I'm as proud as anyone
That's where I come from
That's where I come from
guitar solo
That's where I come from
guitar solo
That's where I come from
guitar solo
guitar solo


Yeah!
Oh boy, Mack McKinley!
