Jason Michael Carroll Lyrics: Where I'm From Lyrics

Jason Michael Carroll - Where I'm From

On a three 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 uphere are free
So if you don't mind the first one can be on me
I returning 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 church
The courthouse clock still dont work
Where a man's word mens everything
Where mons and dads were high school flames
Gave their children grandmothers maiden names
It may not sound like much
But its where I'm from

So we drank that round and then another
Wasn't a topic in the World we did not cover
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting that cancer they discovered
He called last night and said I think this is the end
Come take me home to my family and my friends

Where the quaterback dates the homecoming queen
The trucks are ford and tractors green
And amazing Grace is what we sing
Theres a county fair every fall
Your friends are there every time you call
Yeah It may not sound like much but it's
Where I'm from

as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
Italian suits aint always been my style
You see I was quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in 63
And my wife is still my home coming queen

Cuz Im from the front pew of a wooden church
The courthouse clock still dont work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flames
Gave their children grandmothers maiden names
It may not sound like much
But its where I'm from
I said it may not sound like much but it's
Where Im from
Where I'm from
Where I'm from
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......
