I go back to a two-toned, short bed Chevy

Well in the town where I was raised,
the clock ticks and the cattle grazed
Time passed with amazing grace,
Back where I come from

You can lie on a river bank,
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 its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

We learned in the Sunday school,
who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine toom
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 its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Some say it's a backward place,*
narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say,
that's where I come from

That's where I come from
Where I'll be when its said and done
I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

Back where I come from
I'm an old Osakis-ian
Well I'm proud as anyone
That's where I come from

*this is my favorite part because I'm definitely one of those people who bitches about Osakis being a backward place, full of very narrow-minded people.. but in the same breath of saying that, I proudly say: That's where I come from!
