Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
'Round that Jersey 1
Barney stopped me with his gun
Ten minutes after 2
Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol' truck
I don't know about that accent son
Just 3 did you come from

I said where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta 4 porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' 5 to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well i was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this 6 kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said 7 -lickin'
Well I paid the tab and the lady aked me
How'd you like my biscuit
I'll be honest 8 you ma'am
It ain't like mama fixed it

Cause where I 9 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
