In the town where I was raised 
The clock ticks and the cattle graze 
Time passed with Amazing Grace
Back where [bad word] from
Now you can lie on a riverbank
Paint your name on a water tank 
Or miscount all the beers you drank
Back where [bad word] from 

Back where [bad word] from 
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone 
Back where [bad word] from 

We learned in Sunday school 
Who made the sun shine through 
I know who made the moonshine, too 
Back where [bad word] from 
Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad day light
TV's, they were black and white
Back where [bad word] from

Back where [bad word] from 
Where I'll be when it's said and done
I'm proud as anyone 
Back where [bad word] from 

Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow way 
I make it a point to say 
That that's where [bad word] from

That's where [bad word] from
Where I'll be when it's said and done 
I'm proud as anyone 
That's where [bad word] from 
Back where [bad word] from
I'm an old Tennessean
And I'm proud as anyone 
That's where [bad word] from
That's where [bad word] from
That's where [bad word] from
