I was rolling wheels and shifting gears
Around 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 out 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 sitting where I come from
Trying to make
A living and working hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Out south of detroit city
I pulled in this country kitchen
They tried their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger lick it
Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me
How to 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 picking where I come from
Trying to make
A living and working hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
I was chasing sun on one on one
Somewhere around and tour
And I lost the universal joint
And I had to use my finger
This tall lady stop and ask if I had plans for dinner
I said no thanks man back home
We like the girls that sing soprano
Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken where I come from
A lotta front porch sitting where I come from
Trying to make
A living and working hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
I was heading home on sixty five
Somewhere around kentucky
When the c b rang from the bob tail rig
That's rolling on like thunder
Well I answered him and he asked me
Aren't you from out in tulsa
Not to mighty seen 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 picking
Where I come from
Trying to make
A living and working hard to get to heaven
Where I come where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from
A lotta back porch
Where I come from
Trying to make
A living and working hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
A lotta front porch sitting staring up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryin' to make a livin'
