Where I Come From

Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears

'Round that Jersey Turnpike

When Barney stopped me with his gun

Ten minutes after midnight

Said sir you broke the limit in this rusty ol' truck

I don't know about that accent son

Just where did you come fromI said where I come from

It's cornbread and chicken

Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'

Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

And workin' hard to get to heaven

Where I come fromWell I was south of Detroit City

I pulled in this country kitchen

To try their brand of barbecue

The sign said finger-lickin'

Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me

How'd you like my biscuit

I'll be honest with you ma'am

It ain't like mama fixed it'Cause where I come from

It's cornbread and chicken

Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'

Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

And workin' hard to get to heaven

Where I come fromI was chasin' 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'Cause where I come from

It's cornbread and chicken

Where I come from a lotta front porch sitiin'

Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

And workin' hard to get to heaven

Where I come fromWell I was headed home on 65

Somewhere around Kentucky

And the CB rang for a bobtail rig

That's rollin' on like thunder

Well I answered him and he asked me

Aren't you from out in Tulsa

No, but you might'a seen me there

I just dropped a load of salsaWhere I come from

It's cornbread and chicken

Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'

Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

And workin' hard to get to heaven

Where I come fromWhere I come from yeah

It's cornbread and chicken

Where I come from a lotta back porch pickin'

Where I come from, tryin' to make a livin'

And workin' hard to get to heaven

Where I come from

Where I come fromYeah where I come from

A lotta front porch sittin'

Starin' up at heaven

Where I come from

Where I come from

Tryin' to make a livin'

Oh where I come from

Where I come from
