AsusBack in the Edriveway
The Bend of the workday
How fAsusast that world Edisappears
A fresh Asuslawn, a piEne tree
A Bneighbor just C#mlike me
Who's Asusworked all his life to get Bhere
C#A man climbs as Asushigh as he Ecan
C#But his heart beAsuslongs where it Bbegan
[Verse 2]
I can Asussee in my mEind's eye
A Bshack on a hllside
A Asusmean billy-goat on a Echain
And AsusDad doing Ebattle
With Bdirt hard as C#gravel
And Asussummers the crops never Bcame
C#We'd shoot down a Asuspheasant in Eflight
C#And sing songs about AsusJesus all Bnight
[Refrain]
EThat's where I'm Bfrom

EThat's where I'm Bfrom
BWhere it's yes ma'am and Eno sir

Just you look C#closer
It's Bdeep in my Asusblood
AsusTwo cars, a Epicket fence
BThat's where I've C#comeB  
AsusDirt roads and Edouble-wides
BThat's where I'm Efrom
[Verse 3]
AsusNight school on a fast Etrack
And Bno cause to look back
That Asusplace put a scar on my Esoul
And I Asusswore to my young Eones
WoulBd never know C#hunger
AsusAnd the good life is all tBhey know
Well, C#I've watched them Agrow, now I Esee
One C#thing separates Athem from Bme
