Where I Come From

Where I Come From - Alan Jackson (阿蘭·傑克遜)

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
