Back Where I Come From (new recording with Kenny’s Band) Songtext
von Kenny Chesney

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
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
Well I′m proud as anyone
That's where I come from

We learned in a 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

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

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 come from
Where I′ll be when it's said and done
Well I'm proud as anyone
That′s where I come from

Back where I come from
I′m an old Tennessean
([I'm proud]) 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])
