Where I Come From
Lyricist:Alan Eugene Jackson
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 from?'
I 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 from'
I was south of Detroit City, 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'
I said, '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 from'
I was chasin' sun on 101 somewhere around Ventura I lost the 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'

Well I was heading home on 65 somewhere around Kentucky 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've seen me there,I just dropped a load of salsa'
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
Where 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 from Yeah 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
