Where I Come From Lyrics By Montgomery Gentry

    don’t you dare go runnin’ 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

    pre
    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 turnin’ 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 parkin’ lot
    no nobody’s gonna call the cops
    where i come from

    see that door right there man i swear that it ain’t never been locked
    and i guarantee that it never will
    that old man right there in the rockin’ chair at the courthouse square i’ll tell you now
    he could buy your fancy car with hundred dollar bills

    pre
    don’t let those faded overalls fool ya
    he made his millions without one day of schoolin’

    where i come from
    there’s a pickup truck with the tailgate down
    where i come from
    the pine trees are singin’ a song of the south
    where i come from
    that little white church is gonna have a crowd
    and yeah i’m pretty damn proud
    of where i come from

    where i come from
    there’s a big ol’ moon shinin’ 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 turnin’ 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 parkin’ lot
    no ain’t nobody gonna call the cops

    yeah that river runs across that old flint rock
    where i come from
    where i come from
