Well I was rollin' wheels
and shiftin' gears
'round that Jersey turnpike
Barney stopped me
with his gun
ten minutes after midnight
Said sir you
broke the limit
in this rusty old 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 lot of 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 south
of Detroit City
I pulled in
this country kitchen
To try their brand
of barbeque
The sign said finger lickin'
Well I paid the tab
And the lady asked me
How'd I like my biscuit
I'll be honest
with you ma'am
It ain't like Momma fixed it
'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from
A lot of 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
And I lost the universal joint
And I had to use my finger
This tall lady
stopped and asked
if I had plans for dinner
I 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 lot of 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 headin' home
on 65
somewhere around Kentucky
When the CB rang
from the bob tail rig
It's rollin' on like thunder
Well I answered him
And he asked me
Aren't you from out in Tulsa
Naw but you mighta
seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa
Where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from
A lot of 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 lot of 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 lot of front porch sittin'
Starin' up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryin' to make a livin'
