where i come from

Lyrics

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
