Where I Come Fromby Montgomery Gentry

Album: Rebels on the Run (2011)Charted: 71 License This Song  songfacts ®artistfacts

• Don't you dare go running downMy little town where I grew upAnd I won't cuss your city lightsIf you ain't ever took a ride aroundAnd cruised right through the heart of my townAnything you say would be a lieWe may live our lives a little slowerBut that don't mean I wouldn't be proud to show yaWhere I come fromThere's an old plow boy out turning up dirtWhere I come fromThere's a preacher man in a cowboy shirtWhere I come fromWhere a couple boys fight in the parking lotNo, nobody's gonna call the copsWhere I come fromSee that door right there, man I swearIt ain't never been lockedAnd I can guarantee that it never willThat old man right there in the rocking chairAt the courthouse square I'll tell you nowHe could buy your fancy car with hundred dollar billsDon't let those faded overalls fool yaHe made his millions without one day schoolinWhere I come fromThere's a pickup truck with the tailgate downWhere I come fromThe pine trees are singing a song of the southWhere I come fromThat little white church is gonna have a crowd yeahI'm pretty damn proudWhere I come fromWhere I come fromThere's a big old moon shining down at nightWhere I come fromThere's a man done wrong gonna make it rightWhere I come fromThere's an old plow boy out turning up dirtWhere I come fromThere's a preacher man in a cowboy shirtWhere I come fromWhere a couple of boys fight in the parking lot noAin't nobody's gonna call the copsYeah, that river runs across that old flint rockWhere I come fromWhere I come from Writer/s: Dallas Davidson, Rodney Clawson Publisher: Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
