Lyrics
Where I come from People move a little slower You don't have sex with a girl Before you really know her Where I come from People breathe a little deeper Friends are true and blue And they're there when you need them And fist fights aren't settled with a gun Where I come from Where I come from There are families full of faith Work the land with calloused hands And eat the supper Mama makes Where I come from There are wildflowers on the lane We don't have a super store And survive just the same And there's a future for the young Where I come from All the innocence of yesterday Gets carted off by the railroads and freeways I hope all that never comes And takes away the place Where I come from Where I come from There's a spread upon the table The evening air is sweet And the hammock's like my cradle Where I come from There is peace inside our soul The sound of Grandma singing And the fireflies flash and glow There are open pastures left to run Where I come from
