Jason Michael Carroll - Where I'm From |
[00:-1.00] |
|
[00:00.00] |
|
[00:14.00] |
On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA |
[00:20.28] |
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade |
[00:27.12] |
Laughing at my jeans and my boots |
[00:32.65] |
Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits |
[00:39.62] |
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free |
[00:45.36] |
So if you'd like the first one can be on me |
[00:51.91] |
He said i'm headin back from business in New York and Rome |
[00:58.44] |
Tell me son, Where do you call home |
[01:03.57] |
|
[01:03.96] |
I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church |
[01:08.63] |
The courthouse clock it still don't work |
[01:11.77] |
Where a man's word means everything |
[01:18.13] |
Where moms and dads were high school flings |
[01:21.30] |
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name |
[01:24.72] |
Yes it may not sound like much |
[01:29.15] |
But it's where I'm from |
[01:35.36] |
|
[01:37.30] |
So we drank that round and then another |
[01:43.21] |
There wasn't a topic in this world we did not cover |
[01:49.55] |
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19 |
[01:56.44] |
Just a kid chasing my dreams |
[02:02.00] |
I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big brother |
[02:08.71] |
He's been fighting the cancer they discovered |
[02:15.63] |
But he called last night and said I think this is the end |
[02:21.03] |
So come take me home to my family and my friends |
[02:26.93] |
|
[02:27.42] |
Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen |
[02:31.88] |
The truck's a ford and the tractor's green |
[02:34.91] |
And Amazing Grace is what we sing |
[02:41.18] |
Well there's a county fair every fall |
[02:44.48] |
And your friends are there every time you call |
[02:47.66] |
Yeah it may not sound like much but it's |
[02:53.18] |
Where I'm from |
[02:58.37] |
|
[03:00.48] |
And as we stood to claim the bags we checked |
[03:03.98] |
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that |
[03:07.45] |
Italian suits haven't always been my style |
[03:12.77] |
See I was quarterback of my high school team |
[03:16.53] |
We took state back in '63 |
[03:19.57] |
And my wife, she's still my homecoming queen |
[03:28.61] |
|
[03:28.97] |
Cause I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church |
[03:32.53] |
A courthouse clock that still dont work |
[03:35.82] |
Where a man's word means everything |
[03:41.82] |
Where moms and dads wear high school flings |
[03:45.34] |
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name |
[03:48.88] |
Yes it may not sound like much |
[03:54.03] |
I said it may not sound like much but it's where i'm from |
[04:07.04] |
it's where i'm from |
[04:13.56] |
It's where I'm from |
[04:17.48] |
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...... |
[04:25.24] |
