Where I'm From (Vocal Demo Track) - Backtrack Professional Karaoke Band

On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA

I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade

Laughing at my jeans and my boots

Beside 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 first one be on me

He said I'm heading 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

The courthouse clock it still don't work

Where a man's word means everything

Where moms and dads were high school flings

Gave their children grandmothers maiden name

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 19

Just a kid chasing my dreams

And I said I'm flying out here

To pick up my big brother

He's been fighting the cancer

They discovered

But he called last night

Said I think this is the end

So come take me home

To my family and my friends

Where the quarterback

Dates the homecoming queen

The truck's a ford and the tractor's green

And Amazing Grace is what we sing

Well there's a county fair every fall

And your friends are there no matter

When you call

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'll pray for your brother

And did I mention that

Italian suits haven't always been my style

See I was quarterback of my high school team

Took state back in '63

And my wife

She is still my homecoming 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 flings

Gave their children grandmothers maiden name

Yes it may not sound like much

Said it may not sound like much

But it's where I'm from

Amazing Grace

It's where I'm from

Sweet the sound

It's where I'm from

Amazing Grace
