Back Where I Come From Lyrics
In the town where I was raised
clock ticks and the cattle graze
time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from.
You can lie on a riverbank
paint your name on a water tank
miss count all the beers you drank
back where I come from.
Back where I come from,
where I'll be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from.
We learned in a Sunday school
Just who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too
back where I come from
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white
Back where I come from
Back where I come from,
where I'll be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from.
Some say it's a backwards place
narrow minds on a narrow race
but I make it a point to say that's where I come from.
That's where I come from,
where I'll be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from.
That's where I come from
I'm an old Tennesseean
I'm as proud as any one that's where I come from
Back where I come from
Back where I come from
Back where I come from
clock ticks and the cattle graze
time passed with amazing grace
Back where I come from.
paint your name on a water tank
miss count all the beers you drank
back where I come from.
where I'll be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from.
Just who made the sun shine through
I know who made the moon shine too
back where I come from
tan legs in the broad daylight
TV's they were black and white
Back where I come from
where I'll be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from.
narrow minds on a narrow race
but I make it a point to say that's where I come from.
where I'll be when it is said and done,
I'm proud as anyone that's where I come from.
I'm an old Tennesseean
I'm as proud as any one that's where I come from
Back where I come from
Back where I come from

This song is SO about my hometown... I was born in a one-horse town, then my parents moved us away. Now that I'm older, I've been back to hang out with my old friends, and I realize every time I'm back there that my small country town is so much more memorable to me than the big city I ended up living in. My favorite line? "I know who made the moon shine too back where I come from." And yeah, the only thing they left out? That first kiss with your true love is always where your heart belongs, just like your home town... WHAT AN AMAZING SONG by SUCH a sexy singer!
"Blue eyes on a saturday night, tan legs in the broad daylight" is my favorite line in this song! It just really makes you think. I LOVE the way he sings this song on his greatest hits CD. I am going to see him in concert on the 11th!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!
I remember at the Dale Earnhardt Tribute concert where Dale Jr got up and sang with Kenny Chesney.
I remember Kenny saying he wrote this about where he grew up.. I can so totally relate to it. I may say i hate where i live right now..but the truth is, i know no different and probably wouldn't know how to survive in the city.
I'm leaving TN on orders for VA as soon as I graduate--i'm gonna miss tennessee....
i agree with jazzy09, my favorite line of this song is "blue eyes on a saturday night, tan legs in the broad daylight." this song makes me love the country!
My favorite is also "I know who made the moon shine too", though I wonder who that is.
It's moonshine, and that means illegal alcohol on a saturday night is fun. It's not actually the moon.

i love this song, i haven't heard it in a couple years, but as soon as i saw it, i knew every word. i used to want to be in the city all the time, but as im getting older and think back on all the great times i had in the middle of nowhere, theres no place id rather be. i mean, where else can you walk from your house to the river in the middle of the night with no worries? or ride horses down the road? in my little town, everyone knows everyone else's business, but hey, at least you have people that care about you instead of total strangers, right?
oh and tugit, God made the moon shine
Although I'm a die hard skynyrd fan, this goes down as my favorite song of all time. I grew up in a small racist town and i relate to everypart of this song.

this song is so amazing. Kenny chesney didn't originally sing this song tho. a man by the name of mack macenaly (idk how it's spelled) wrote and sang this song way before kenny chesney. i think kenny does it best tho.
