Where I Come From Lyrics - Greatest Hits Volume Ii - Alan Jackson

Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears 

'Round that Jersey Turnpike 

Barney stopped me with his gun 

ten minutes after midnight 

Said sir you broke the limit in that 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 sittin' 

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 sittin' 

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 the 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' 

and workin' hard to get to heaven 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 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 sittin' 

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
