rate me

Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears<br>'round that jersey turnpike<br>When barney stopped me with his gun<br>Ten minutes after midnight<br>Said sir you broke the limit in this rusty ol' truck<br>I don't know about that accent son<br>Just where did you come from<br><br>I said where I come from<br>It's cornbread and chicken<br>Where I come from a lotta front porch sitiin'<br>Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'<br>And workin' hard to get to heaven<br>Where I come from<br><br>Well I was south of detroit city<br>I pulled in this country kitchen<br>To try their brand of barbecue<br>The sign said finger-lickin'<br>Well I paid the tab and the lady aked me<br>How'd you like my biscuit<br>I'll be honest with you ma'am<br>It ain't like mama fixed it<br><br>Cause where I come from<br>It's cornbread and chicken<br>Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'<br>Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'<br>And workin' hard to get to heaven<br>Where I come from<br><br>I was chasin' sun on 101<br>Somewhere around ventura<br>I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger<br>This tall lady stopped and asked<br>If I had plans for dinner<br>Said no thanks ma'am, back home<br>We like the girls that sing soprano<br><br>Cause where I come from<br>It's cornbread and chicken<br>Where I come from a lotta front porch sitiin'<br>Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'<br>And workin' hard to get to heaven<br>Where I come from<br><br>Well I was headed home on 65<br>Somewhere around kentucky<br>The cb rang for a bobtail rig<br>That's rollin' on like thunder<br>Well I answered him and he asked me<br>Aren't you from out in tulsa<br>No, but you might'a seen me there<br>I just dropped a load of salsa<br><br>Where I come from it's cornbread and chicken<br>Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'<br>Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'<br>Workin' hard to get to heaven<br>Where I come from<br><br>Where I come from yeah it's cornbread and chicken<br>Where I come from a lotta back porch pickin'<br>Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'<br>Workin' hard to get to heaven<br>Where I come from<br>Yeah where I come from<br>A lotta front porch sitiin'<br>Starin' up at heaven<br>Where I come from<br>Where I come from<br>Tryin' to make a livin'<br>Tryin' to make a livin'<br>Oh, where I come from<br>Where I come from<br>Yeah where I come from<br>Get back down there sometimes<br>Where I come from
