Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
'Round that Jersey Turnpike
When Barney stopped me with his gun
Ten minutes after midnight
Said sir you broke the limit in [bad word] ol' [bad word] I don't know about that accent son
Just where do [bad word] from

I said where [bad word] from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where [bad word] from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where [bad word] from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where [bad word] from

Well I was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this country kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger-lickin'
Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me
How'd I like my biscuit
I'll be honest with you ma'am
It ain't like mama fixed it

'Cause where [bad word] from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where [bad word] from a lotta front porch pickin'
Where [bad word] from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where [bad word] from

I was chasin' sun on 101
Somewhere around Ventura
I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
This tall lady stopped and asked
If I had plans for dinner
Said no thanks ma'am, back home
We like the girls that sing soprano

'Cause where [bad word] from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where [bad word] from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where [bad word] from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where [bad word] from

Well I was headed home on 65
Somewhere around Kentucky
The CB rang for a bobtail rig
That's rollin' on like thunder
Well I answered him and he asked me
Aren't you from out in Tulsa
No, but you might have seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa

Where [bad word] from it's cornbread and chicken
Where [bad word] from a lotta back porch pickin'
Where [bad word] from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where [bad word] from
Where [bad word] from
Yeah where [bad word] from
lotta front porch sitting
Starin' up at heaven
Where [bad word] from
Where [bad word] from
Tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin'
Oh, where [bad word] from
Where [bad word] from
Yeah, where [bad word] from
Get back down there sometime
