On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade Laughing at my jeans and my boots Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free So if you'd like the first one can be on me He said I'm headin' back from business in New York and Rome Tell me, son, where do you call home?
I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church A courthouse clock, it still don't work Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flames That gave their children grandmother's maiden name Yes, it may not sound like much but it's where I'm from
So we drank that round and then another There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover He said I headed out west when I was barely nineteen Just a kid chasing my dreams
And I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother He's been fighting the cancer they discovered But he called last night and said I think this is the end So come take me home to my family and my friends
Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen The truck's a Ford and the tractor's green And Amazing Grace is what we sing
Where there's a county fair every fall And your friends are there no matter when you call Yeah, it may not sound like much but it's where I'm from
And as we stood to claim the bags we checked He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that Italian suits haven't always been my style?
See, I was the quarterback of my high school team We took state back in '63 And my wife, well, she's still my homecoming queen
'Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church A courthouse clock, it still don't work Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flame That gave their children grandmother's maiden name Yes, it may not sound like much
I said it may not sound like much but it's where I'm from (Amazing grace) It's where I'm from (How sweet the sound) It's where I'm from (Amazing grace) (How sweet the sound) (Amazing grace) Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
