I was rolling wheels and shifting gears
'round that Jersey Turnpike.
When Barney stopped me with his gun
ten minutes after midnight.
said sir you broke the limit in that rusty old truck
I don't know about that accent son,
just where did you come from?
Chorus
I said where I come from,
it's cornbread and chicken.
Where I come from,
a lot of front porch sittin'.
where I come from,
tryin' to make a livin',
and working hard to get to heaven.
where I come from.
Verse 2
I was south of Detroit City.
pulled into this country kitchen
to try their brand of barbeque,
sign says finger lickin' good.
well I paid the tab and the lady asked
how'd I like my biscuit
Pause
I'll be honest with you m'aam
it Ain't like Mamma fixed it.
Chorus:
Verse 3
I was chasin' Sun on 101
somewhere 'round Ventura.
I lost a universal joint and had to use my finger.
This tall Lady stopped and asked if I had plans for dinner.
Pause
I said no thank you M'aam, back home we like girls that sing soprano.
Chorus:
VERSE 4
I was headin' home on 65
somewhere around Kentucky.
the Cb rang from a bobtail rig
that's a rollin' on like thunder.
well, I answered him and he asked me
aren't you from Tulsa?
No, but you might of seen me there,
Pause
I just dropped a load of salsa.
CHOURS
CHORUS
I said where I come from
it's cornbread and Chicken.
where I come from
a lot of front porch sittin'.
where I come from
tryin' to make a livin',
and workin' hard to get to heaven,
where I come from
