Tears Lyrics

  Send "Where I'm From" Ringtone to your Cell  

On a 3 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 im heading back from business, in New York and Rome
Tell me son where do you call home

I said im from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a mans word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flings and
Gave there children Grandmothers maiden name
Yes, it may not sound like much
But its where im from

so we Drink that round and then another
There wasnt a topic in this world we did not cover
He said I headed out west when i was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
and i said im 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 trucks are Ford and the tractor is green
and amazing grace is what we sing
theres a county fair every fall
and your friends are there no matter when you call
it may not sound like much but its where im from

and as we stood there to claim the bags we checked
he said I'll pray for your brother and did i mention that
Italian suits havent 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 is still my homecoming queen

Cuz im from the front pew of the wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a mans word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flingss
Gave there children Grandmothers maiden name
Yes, it may not sound like much
I said it may not sound like much
But its where im from
