Where I Come From - Alan Jackson

Well, in the town where I was raised The clock ticks and the cattle graze Time passed with amazing grace Back where I come from Now you could lie on a riverbank Or paint your name on a water tank Or miscount all the beers you drank Back where I come from Back where I come from Where I'll be when it's said and done Well, I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from We learned in a Sunday school Who made the sun shine through I know who made the moonshine 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 Where I'll be when it's said and done Well, 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 come from Where I'll be when it's said and done Well, I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from Back where I come from I'm an old Tennessee (I'm proud) well, I'm proud as anyone That's where I come from (That's where I come from) (That's where I come from) (That's where I come from) (That's where I come from)

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.
