Where I Come From - John Anderson

I was rollin' wheels and shiftin'

gears round that Jersey Turnpike

When Barney stopped me with his gun

ten minutes after midnight

Said Sir you broke the limit in this 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

I was south of Detroit City pulled in this country kitchen

To try their brand of barbecue the

sign said 'Finger-lickin''

Well I paid the tab and the lady asked

me How'd you like my biscuit

I'll be honest with you Ma'am

it ain't like Mama fixed it

I said 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 the 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

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 heading home on ６５

somewhere around Kentucky

The CB rang for a 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've 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

Where I come from yeah it's cornbread and chicken

Where I come from a lotta back 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

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'

Oh where I come from where I come from
