  • Don't you dare go running down
    My little town where I grew up
    And I won't cuss your city lights

    If you ain't ever took a ride around
    And cruised right through the heart of my town
    Anything you say would be a lie

    We may live our lives a little slower
    But that don't mean I wouldn't be proud to show ya

    Where I come from
    There's an old plow boy out turning up dirt
    Where I come from
    There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt
    Where I come from
    Where a couple boys fight in the parking lot
    No, nobody's gonna call the cops
    Where I come from

    See that door right there, man I swear
    It ain't never been locked
    And I can guarantee that it never will
    That old man right there in the rocking chair
    At the courthouse square I'll tell you now
    He could buy your fancy car with hundred dollar bills

    Don't let those faded overalls fool ya
    He made his millions without one day schoolin

    Where I come from
    There's a pickup truck with the tailgate down
    Where I come from
    The pine trees are singing a song of the south
    Where I come from
    That little white church is gonna have a crowd yeah
    I'm pretty damn proud
    Where I come from

    Where I come from
    There's a big old moon shining down at night
    Where I come from
    There's a man done wrong gonna make it right
    Where I come from
    There's an old plow boy out turning up dirt
    Where I come from
    There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt
    Where I come from
    Where a couple of boys fight in the parking lot no
    Ain't nobody's gonna call the cops

    Yeah, that river runs across that old flint rock
