That's Where I'm From
Quelle: Spotify
Back in the driveway
The end of the workday
How fast that world disappears
A fresh lawn, a pine tree
A neighbor just like me
Who's worked all his life to get here
A man climbs as high as he can
But his heart belongs where it began
I can see in my mind's eye
A shack on a hllside
A mean billy-goat on a chain
And Dad doing battle
With dirt hard as gravel
And summers the crops never came
We'd shoot down a pheasant in flight
And sing songs about Jesus all night
That's where I'm from
Where time passes slower
That's where I'm from
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
You can't tell I'm country
Just you look closer
It's deep in my blood
Two cars, a picket fence
That's where I've come
Dirt roads and double-wides
That's where I'm from
Night school on a fast track
And no cause to look back
That place put a scar on my soul
And I swore my young ones
Would never know hunger
The good life is all they can know
Well, I've watched them grow, now I see
One thing separates them from me
That's where I'm from
Where time passes slower
That's where I'm from
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
If you can't tell I'm country
Then just you look closer
It's deep in my blood
A white collar, a necktie
That's where I've come
Half-nekkid in the moonshine
That's where I'm from
If you've ever heard Hank Williams sing
Then brother, you know the whole blessed thing
That's where I'm from
Where time passes slower
That's where I'm from
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
If you can't tell I'm country
Then just you look closer
It's deep in my blood
A long way down a hard road
That's where I've come
Someplace I can't go home to
That's where I'm from
