Song Lyrics for "where I Come From"

"Where I Come From:

1st Verse: Momma got high and Momma got low,
Goin' places she ought not go.
She took a turn and fell real hard,
Now she wanderin' around in the back yard.

And my daddy never liked to keep a job
But he could play the role of a drunkin' slob.
One night he walked off down them tracks.
I'm pretty damn sure he ain't never comin' back.



Chorus: And I don't know where I fit in.
But I fear I'm growing numb.
and after all that I've been through,
there's one thing I can't forget...
Where I come from.



2nd Verse: Now it ain't easy being sixteen.
You don't own your life;
you can't own your dreams.
It's like no one ever seems to give a damn,
Can't find a single soul who'll understand.

So I'm leavin' this cold and wind-blown plain.
I'm stakin' it on a west-bound train.
It's like some old dusty rodeo with faded memories
and nowhere left to go.



Chorus: And I don't know where I fit in.
But I'm fear I'm growing numb.
and after all that I've been through,
there's one thing I can't forget...
Where I come from.

B section:
Now this life should be for livin'.
as my hopes lie with my dreams.
So I'll take what I've been givin'
and I'll do the best I can within
my means.


Intrumental:

Chorus: I don't know where I fit in.
And I'm fear I'm growing numb.
and after all that I've been through,
there's one thing I can't forget...
Well, there's just one thing I can't forget...
Where I come from.
Where I come from.
Where I come from.
