[00:07.89]
[00:12.54]
[00:13.94]On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
[00:20.23]I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
[00:26.99]Laughing at my jeans and my boots
[00:32.44]Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
[00:39.97]When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
[00:45.39]So if you'd like the first one can be on me
[00:51.90]He said i'm headin back from business in New York and Rome
[00:58.43]Tell me son, Where do you call home
[01:03.53]
[01:03.86]I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
[01:08.61]The courthouse clock it still don't work
[01:11.64]Where a man's word means everything
[01:18.00]Where moms and dads were high school flings
[01:21.29]Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
[01:24.58]Yes it may not sound like much
[01:29.11]But it's where I'm from
[01:35.60]
[01:37.05]So we drank that round and then another
[01:43.15]There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover
[01:49.51]He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
[01:56.47]Just a kid chasing my dreams
[02:02.21]I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
[02:08.77]He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
[02:15.62]But he called last night and said I think this is the end
[02:21.06]So come take me home to my family and my friends
[02:26.70]
[02:27.35]Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
[02:31.86]The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
[02:34.89]And Amazing Grace is what we sing
[02:41.12]Well there's a county fair every fall
[02:44.52]And your friends are there every time you call
[02:47.69]Yeah it may not sound like much but it's
[02:53.28]Where I'm from
[02:58.83]
[03:00.43]And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
[03:03.69]He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
[03:07.48]Italian suits haven't always been my style
[03:12.69]See I was quarterback of my high school team
[03:16.56]We took state back in '63
[03:19.74]And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen
[03:28.73]
[03:28.96]Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
[03:32.78]A courthouse clock that still dont work
[03:35.73]Where a man's word means everything
[03:41.99]Where moms and dads wear high school flings
[03:45.40]Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
[03:48.69]Yes it may not sound like much
[03:54.05]I said it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from
[04:05.59]
[04:07.05]it's where i'm from
[04:13.49]It's where I'm from
[04:19.20]Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......
