East Texas...

On the Land where I was raised
The horses run and the cattle graze
Time passed with Amazing Grace
Back where I come from

Now you can lay on the Couch and watch your bro. play with his RC Car
Look out the Window and see the Dust fly.
Chalk your Name on a sidewalk
Or miscount all the beers you didn't this time drink
Back where I come from

Back where I come from
I know now that I'll never be back there
but I'm proud as anyone
That that's where I come from

We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun shine through
I know all to well who made the moonshine, too
Back where I come from

Just Granparents on a Saturday night
Dad's Horses in the broad day light
Right and Wrong, it was Black and White,
Back Where I come from.

I know some day I'll Come back and visit,
with My wife and kids,
I'll show them all the places I used to go,
I'll show them Harts Bluff where I went to School,
I''ll show them Sam Parker where I used to yell,
The Civic Center where we used to stand, and
the Back roads we used to Cruise.

I'll remind them that In the Modern day world,
Some things are lost, like taking the time to Brush your Horse,
Or tip your cowboy hat to a lady.
I'll remind them that this is Where I come from.

I'll show them where Papa taught me to drive,
and I'll show them where I had my first Wreck,
I'll show them where I got my first Kiss,
And where, for the First time I fell in love

Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow way
I make it a point to say
That that's where I come from
That's where I come from
Where I come from I'm an old East Texan
And I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from.
