Where I Come From

[Verse 1] Well I was rolling wheels and shifting gears Around that Jersey Turnpike Barney stopped me with his gun Ten minutes after midnight Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty old truck I don't know about that accent son Just where did you come from [Chorus] I said where I come from It's cornbread and chicken Where I come from a lot of front porch sitting Where I come from trying to make a living And working hard to get to heaven Where I come from [Verse 2] Well I was south of Detroit City I pulled in this country kitchen To try their brand of barbecue The sign said finger-licking Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me How'd I like my biscuit I'll be honest with you ma'am It ain't like mama fixed it [Chorus] [Verse 3] I was chasing sun on 101 Somewhere around Ventura I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger This tall lady stopped and asked If I had plans for dinner Said no thanks ma'am, back home We like the girls that sing soprano [Chorus] [Verse 4] Well I was headed home on 65 Somewhere around Kentucky The CB rang for the bobtail rig That's rolling on like thunder Well I answered him and he asked me Aren't you from out in Tulsa No, but you might have seen me there I just dropped a load of salsa [Chorus] [Chorus] Where I come from It's cornbread and chicken Where I come from a lot of back porch picking Where I come from trying to make a living Working hard to get to heaven Where I come from Yeah where I come from A lot of front porch sitting Staring up at heaven Where I come from Where I come from Trying to make a living Trying to make a living Oh, where I come from Where I come from Yeah where I come from Get back down there sometimes Where I come from
