[00:-2.00]Jason Michael Carroll - Where I'm From
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:14.00]On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
[00:20.28]I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
[00:27.12]Laughing at my jeans and my boots
[00:32.65]Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
[00:39.62]When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
[00:45.36]So if you'd like the first one can be on me
[00:51.91]He said i'm headin back from business in New York and Rome
[00:58.44]Tell me son, Where do you call home
[01:03.57]
[01:03.96]I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
[01:08.63]The courthouse clock it still don't work
[01:11.77]Where a man's word means everything
[01:18.13]Where moms and dads were high school flings
[01:21.30]Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
[01:24.72]Yes it may not sound like much
[01:29.15]But it's where I'm from
[01:35.36]
[01:37.30]So we drank that round and then another
[01:43.21]There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover
[01:49.55]He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
[01:56.44]Just a kid chasing my dreams
[02:02.00]I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother
[02:08.71]He's been fighting the cancer they discovered
[02:15.63]But he called last night and said I think this is the end
[02:21.03]So come take me home to my family and my friends
[02:26.93]
[02:27.42]Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
[02:31.88]The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
[02:34.91]And Amazing Grace is what we sing
[02:41.18]Well there's a county fair every fall
[02:44.48]And your friends are there every time you call
[02:47.66]Yeah it may not sound like much but it's
[02:53.18]Where I'm from
[02:58.37]
[03:00.48]And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
[03:03.98]He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
[03:07.45]Italian suits haven't always been my style
[03:12.77]See I was quarterback of my high school team
[03:16.53]We took state back in '63
[03:19.57]And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen
[03:28.61]
[03:28.97]Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
[03:32.53]A courthouse clock that still dont work
[03:35.82]Where a man's word means everything
[03:41.82]Where moms and dads wear high school flings
[03:45.34]Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
[03:48.88]Yes it may not sound like much
[03:54.03]I said it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from
[04:07.04]it's where i'm from
[04:13.56]It's where I'm from
[04:17.48]Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound......
