Where I Come From
Alan Jackson

Intro  E  A  B7  E  A B7 E A  B7 D  A  E

E
I WAS ROLLING WHEELS AND SHIFTING GEARS
A                      B7
'ROUND THAT JERSEY TURNPIKE.
E
WHEN BARNEY STOPPED ME WITH HIS GUN
A                                  B7
TEN MINUTES AFTER MIDNIGHT.
E 
SAID SIR YOU BROKE THE LIMIT
A                         B7
IN THAT RUSTY OL' TRUCK.
D STOP
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT ACCENT SON,  
JUST WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

Chours
E 
I SAID WHERE I COME FROM,
A                                    B7
ITS CORNBREAD AND  CHICKEN.
E                                      
WHERE I COME FROM, 
A                             B7 
A LOT OF FRONT PORCH SITTING.
E 
WHERE I COME FROM,
A                                B7
TRYING TO MAKE A  LIVING,
D                           A
AND WORKING HARD TO GET TO  HEAVEN.
                       E
WHERE I COME FROM.   
   
VERSE      2
I WAS SOUTH OF DETROIT CITY. 
PULLED INTO THIS COUNTRY KITCHEN
TO TRY THEIR BRAND OF BARBQUE,
SIGN SAYES FINGER LICKING.
WELL I PAID THE TAB AND THE LADY ASKED ME,
HOW'D I LIKE MY BISCUIT?
                      STOP
I'LLBE HONEST WITH YOU MA'ME 
IT AN'T LIKE MOMA'S FIXED IT.

TO CHOURS                                                                         
MUSIC                   

VERSE    3
I WUZ CHASING SUN ON 101 
SOMEWHERE 'ROUND VENTURA.
I HAD LOST A UNIVERSAL JOINT AND I HAD TO USE MY FINGER.
THIS TALL LADY STOPPED AND ASKED IF I HAD PLANS FOR DINNER.
                                     STOP
I SAID NO THANKS  MA'ME, BACK HOME WE LIKE GIRLS THAT SING SAPRANO.

CHOURS
MUSIC    E  A  B7  E  A B7 E A  B7 D  A  E

VERSE   3
I WAS HEADING HOME ON 65 
SOME WHERE AROUND KENTUCKY.
THE CB RANG FROM A BOBTAIL RIG
THAT'S A ROLLING ON LIKE THUNDER.
WELL I ANSWERED HIM AND HE ASKED ME
AREN'T YOU FROM OUT IN TULSA? 
NO, BUT YOU MIGHT'A SEEN ME THERE,
STOP
I JUST DROPPED A LOAD OF SALSA.

CHOURS 

CODA
I SAID WHERE I COME FROM
ITS CORNBREAD AND  CHICKEN.
WHERE I COME FROM 
LOT OF FRONT PORCH SITTING.
WHERE I COME FROM
TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING,
AND WORKING HARD TO GET TO HEAVEN,
WHERE I COME  FROM
