Текст песни Where I'm From - The Hit Crew

Well, on a three-hour flight from Memphis to L.A.
I was silently celebrating my first-class upgrade
Laughin' at my jeans and my boots
Besides those high-dollar shoes and Armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said, "The drinks up here are free
So if you'd like, the first one can be on me"
He said, "I'm headed back from business in New York and Rome
Tell me, son, where do you call home?"

I said, "I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still don't work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flames
Gave their children grandmother's maiden names
Yes, it may not sound like much
But it's where I'm from"

So we drank that round and then another
There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover
He said, "I headed out west when I was barely nineteen
Just a kid chasin' my dreams"
And I said, "I'm flyin' out here to pick up my big brother
He's been fighting a cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said, 'I think this is the end'
So come take me home to my family and my friends"

"Where the quarterback dates the homecomin' queen
The truck's a Ford and the tractor's green
And 'Amazing Grace' is what we sing
There's a county fair every fall
And your friends are there no matter when you call
Yeah, it may not sound like much
But it's where I'm from"

And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said, "I prayed for your brother and did I mention that
Italian suits haven't always been my style?
See, I was the quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in '63
And my wife, well, she's still my homecomin' queen"

'Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still don't work
Where a man's word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flames
Gave their children grandmother's maiden names
Yes, it may not sound like much
I said, it may not sound like much
But it's where I'm from"

It's where I'm from
It's where I'm from
