Where I Come From Lyrics - Where I Come From: Radio Mixes & Live Bonus - New Riders Of The Purple Sage

Where I come from 

You can read by the light of a star 

Pass the map Mahoney 

It can't be all that far 

I would know it anywhere 

Sight unseen we're almost there 

This smells like the air 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 

All the roads are rocky and steep 

And you aren't judged by 

The company you keep 

I would know you anywhere 

Salt-sea breezes in your hair 

No one to compare 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 

Smack on the demarcator line 

If the sun don't rise, y'know 

Won't be for lack of tryin' 

Fed-up rehearsing my part 

Gonna wing this one from the heart 

Only place to start 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 

Used to be a border state 

Nothin' but my own reflection 

On the dinner plate 

Tonight I choose to dine alone 

Me and the dog might share a bone 

We don't waste a crumb 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 

There's only one law to keep 

Simple enough to recall 

Even in your sleep 

The only thing that's taught in school 

Love if you can but don't be cruel 

That's the rule of thumb where I come from 

The highway is calling 

But I'm not calling back 

All I ever wanted was a two room shack 

Free to come and free to go 

The only life I care to know 

An old guitar to strum 

Where I come from
