back where i come from....

mom...this one's for you!! kenny chesney says it best!

In the town where I was raised,
the clock ticks and the cattle graze.
Time passed with amazing grace
back where I come from.

You could lie on a riverbank,
or paint your name on a water tank,
miscount all the beers you drank
back where I come from.

Back where I come from
is where I'll be when it's said and done.
I'm proud as anyone,
That's where I come from.

We learned in Sunday school
who made the sun shine through.
Who made the moon shine too,
back where I come from.

Blue eyes on a Saturday night,
tan legs in the broad daylight.
TV’s, they were black and white,
back where I come from.

Back where I come from
is where I'll be when it's said and done.
I'm proud as anyone,
that's where I come from.

Some say it's a backward place
narrow minds on the narrow way
but I make it a point to say
that's where I come from.

That's where I come from,
I'm an old alabamian,
I’m proud as anyone,
that's where I come from.

i had a little inspiration on my way home after dropping nicholas off at work. for some reason thats the only song i wanted to listen to! i am learning to like it here in dallas. it is just the biggest place i have ever been! i dont know if it's quite what we expected it to be! we were expecting more "country"...i think. it's great though and i am going to be happy wherever we are! there's just NO PLACE LIKE HOME!! by the way...'home is where your MOM is'. i love you mommy!
