Alan Jackson - Where I Come From Lyrics
Well I was rollin wheels and shiftin gearsround that jersey turnpikeWhen barney stopped me with his gunTen minutes after midnightSaid sir you broke the limit in this rusty ol truckI dont know about that accent sonJust where did you come fromI said where I come fromIts cornbread and chickenWhere I come from a lotta front porch sitiinWhere I come from tryin to make a livinAnd workin hard to get to heavenWhere I come fromWell I was south of detroit cityI pulled in this country kitchenTo try their brand of barbecueThe sign said finger-lickinWell I paid the tab and the lady aked meHowd you like my biscuitIll be honest with you maamIt aint like mama fixed itCause where I come fromIts cornbread and chickenWhere I come from a lotta front porch pickinWhere I come from tryin to make a livinAnd workin hard to get to heavenWhere I come fromI was chasin sun on 101Somewhere around venturaI lost a universal joint and I had to use my fingerThis tall lady stopped and askedIf I had plans for dinnerSaid no thanks maam, back homeWe like the girls that sing sopranoCause where I come fromIts cornbread and chickenWhere I come from a lotta front porch sitiinWhere I come from tryin to make a livinAnd workin hard to get to heavenWhere I come fromWell I was headed home on 65Somewhere around kentuckyThe cb rang for a bobtail rigThats rollin on like thunderWell I answered him and he asked meArent you from out in tulsaNo, but you mighta seen me thereI just dropped a load of salsaWhere I come from its cornbread and chickenWhere I come from a lotta front porch pickinWhere I come from tryin to make a livinWorkin hard to get to heavenWhere I come fromWhere I come from yeah its cornbread and chickenWhere I come from a lotta back porch pickinWhere I come from tryin to make a livinWorkin hard to get to heavenWhere I come fromYeah where I come fromA lotta front porch sitiinStarin up at heavenWhere I come fromWhere I come fromTryin to make a livinTryin to make a livinOh, where I come fromWhere I come fromYeah where I come fromGet back down there sometimesWhere I come from
