[Verse 1]
Well, I was [D]rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
[G]'Round that Jersey [A]Turnpike
[D]Barney stopped me with his gun
Ten [G]minutes after [A]midnight
Said, [D]"Sir, you broke the limit
in this [G]rusty ol' truck
[A]I don't kno[G]w about that accent, son
Just [A]where did you come from?"

[Chorus 1]
I said where [D]I come from
It's [G]cornbread and [A]chicken
Where [D]I come from, a lot of f[G]ront porch s[A]itin'
Where [D]I come from, t[G]ryna make a l[A]ivin'
And [C]workin' hard to get to [G]Heaven
Where I come [D]from

[Verse 2]
I was [D]south of Detroit city
I pulled [G]in this country [A]kitchen
To [D]try their brand of barbecue
The [G]sign said finger-[A]lickin'
Well, I [D]paid the tab and the lady asked me
[G]How'd you like my [A]biscuit
"I'll be [G]honest with you, ma'am
It [A]ain't like mama fixed it"

[Chorus 2]
'Cause where [D]I come from
It's [G]cornbread and [A]chicken
Where [D]I come from, a lot of f[G]ront porch p[A]ickin'
Where [D]I come from, t[G]ryna make a l[A]ivin'
And [C]workin' hard to get to [G]Heaven

[Verse 3]
I was [D]chasin' sun on 101
Some[G]where around Ven[A]tura
And I [D]lost a universal joint
and I [G]had to use my [A]finger
This [D]tall lady stopped and asked
If [G]I had plans for d[A]inner
Said, [G]"No thanks, ma'am, back home
We like the [A]girls that sing soprano"

[Chorus 3]
'Cause where [D]I come from
It's [G]cornbread and [A]chicken
Where [D]I come from, a lot of f[G]ront porch s[A]itin'
Where [D]I come from, t[G]ryna make a l[A]ivin'
And [C]workin' hard to get to [G]Heaven

[Verse 4]
Well, I was [D]headin' home on 65
Some[G]where around Ken[A]tucky
And the [D]CB rang the bobtail rig
That's [G]rollin' on like [A]thunder
Well, I [D]answered him and he asked me
"Aren't [G]you from out in [A]Tulsa''
[G]"No, but you might've seen me there
I just [A]dropped a load of salsa"

[Chorus 4]
Where [D]I come from
It's [G]cornbread and [A]chicken
Where [D]I come from, a lot of f[G]ront porch p[A]ickin'
Where [D]I come from, t[G]ryna make a l[A]ivin'
And [C]workin' hard to get to [G]Heaven
Where I come
Where [D]I come from
It's [G]cornbread and [A]chicken
Where [D]I come from, a lot of b[G]ack porch p[A]ickin'
Where [D]I come from, t[G]ryna make a l[A]ivin'
And [C]workin' hard to get to [G]Heaven

[Outro 1]
Where I come from
[D]Whe[G]re I come[A] from
[D]Yea[G]h, where I come[A] from
[D]A lot of fro[G]nt porch sit[A]iin'
[C]Starin' up at heaven[G]
Where I come from
[D]Whe[G]re I come[A] from
[D]Try[G]na make a liv[A]in'
[D]Oh,[G] wh[A]ere[C] I [G]come from[D]
[Fade out]
