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 from

I said 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 from

Well 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 aked 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 from

I 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 from

Well I was headed 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’a 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’
Workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

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’
Workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
A lotta front porch sitiin’
Starin’ up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryin’ to make a livin’
Tryin’ to make a livin’
Oh, where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
Get back down there sometimes
Where I come from
