Gretchen Wilson - Pocahontas Proud Lyrics
I was raised in Pocahontas, IllinoisEverybody thought of me as one of the boys'Cause I'd run with a crowd that was toughAt fifteen I was tending Big O's BarI'd sing 'til two a.m. for a half full tip jarSpent my youth singing truth, paying dues(Chorus)I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometownAnd I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em downIf it's the last thing I do before they lay meIn the groundYou know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proudI knocked on every door on music rowBut they looked down at me and said "Girl go back home"You ain't got what we need in this townBut they couldn't whup the fighting side of meYou know where I'm from we don't give up easilyOvernight took all my life to be found(Chorus)At twenty-seven I had baby GraceI was born again when I saw her sweet faceAnd I knew she was the greatest thing I'd ever do(Chorus 2x)
