Where I Come From
Lead in: 4/4time- E A E A E A B7 A E
E Well I was rollin’ wheels and shiftin’ gears round that Jersey Turnpike E When Barney stopped me with his gun ten minutes after midnight E Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol’ truck G E I don’t know about that accent son, just where do you come from?
Chorus: Lick starts E A I said where I come from it’s cornbread and chicken E A Where I come from lot of front porch sittin’ E A Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’ B7 A E Workin’ hard to get to heaven where I come from
Verse II: E Well I was south of Detroit city, pulled in this country kitchen E To try their brand of barbeque the sign said finger lickin’ E Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me how’d I like my biscuit G E I’ll be honest with you ma’am it ain’t like mama fixed it
Chorus: Lick starts Ĕ A Cause where I come from it’s cornbread and chicken E A Where I come from lot of front porch pickin’ E A Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’ B7 A E Workin’ hard to get to heaven where I come from
Verse III: E I was chasin’ sun on 101 somewhere around Ventura E I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger E This tall lady stopped and asked if I had plans for dinner G E Said no thanks ma’am, back home we like the girls that sing soprano
Chorus: Lick starts Ĕ A Cause where I come from it’s cornbread and chicken E A Where I come from lot of front porch sittin’ E A Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’ B7 A E Workin’ hard to get to heaven where I come from
Verse IV: E Well I was headed home on 65 somewhere around Kentucky E The CB rang for a bobtail rig that’s rollin’ on like thunder E Well I answered him and he asked me aren’t you from out in Tulsa G E No, but you might’a seen me there I just dropped a load of salsa
Chorus: Lick starts Ĕ A Where I come from it’s cornbread and chicken E A Where I come from lot of front porch sittin’ E A Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’ B7 A E Workin’ hard to get to heaven where I come from
Chorus: Lick starts Ĕ A I said where I come from it’s cornbread and chicken E A Where I come from lot of back porch pickin’ E A Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’ B7 A E Workin’ hard to get to heaven where I come from A E A E Where I come from, where I come from
E A Yeah, where I come from a lot of front porch sittin’ B7 A E Starin’ up at heaven where I come from A E A E Where I come from, where I come from A E tryin’ to make a livin’ Oh where I come from
