Where I Come From - Alan Jackson
Lyrics, Music May 31st, 2008well 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 ol 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 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 south of detroit city
i pulled in this country kitchen
to try their brand of barbecue
the sign said finger-lickin
well i paid the tab and the lady aked me
how’d i like my biscuit
i’ll be honest with you, ma’am
it ain’t like mama fixed it
cause 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
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
i said 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
yeah it’s cornbread and chicken
where i come from a lotta 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 lotta front porch sittin
and starin up at heaven
where i come from
oh where i come from

I hope you have a wonderful and fun birthday, Skye! How does it feel being a year older? Any changes?
Reply: I felt changes on my 20th birthday but so far nothing special for 21. For most of the day, I forgot it was even my birthday and had to think for a minute every time someone said happy birthday. But I do like the influx of email in my inbox: all birthday wishes
