[Intro]
G   C   D
[Verse 1]
On a Cthree hour flight from Memphis to GLA
I wCas silently celebrating my first class Gupgrade
DLaughing at my Cjeans and my Gboots
Beside those Chigh dollar shoes and Armani Dsuits
[Verse 2]
When thCe gentlemen next to me said the drinks up here are Gfree
So iCf you like, the first one can be on Gme
DHe said I'm heading back from bCusiness in New York and GRome
Tell me Cson, where do you call Dhome?
[Chorus 1]
I said I'm from the Gfront pew of a Cwooden white church
GA courthouse clock that Cstill don't work
GWhere a man's word Emmeans everythinDg
GWhere moms and dads were Chigh school flames
GAnd gave their children grandmothers Cmaiden names
GYes it may not sound like Dmuch
DBut it's where I'm fGromD  
[Verse 3]
CSo we drank that round, and then Ganother
CThere wasn't a topic in this world we did not Gcover
DHe said I headed out west Cwhen I was barely Gnineteen
CJust a kid chasing my Ddreams
[Verse 4]
CAnd I said I'm flying out here to pick up my big Gbrother
CHe's been fighting the cancer they Gdiscovered
DBut he called last nCight and said I tGhink this is the end
So come take me Chome to my family and mDy friends
[Chorus 2]
GWhere the quarterback dates thCe homecoming queen
GThe truck's a Ford and tChe tractor's green
GAnd amazing grace is Emwhat we sinDgC  
GTheres a county fair Cevery fall
GAnd your friends are there no matter Cwhen you call
GIt may not sound like Dmuch
DBut it's where I'm GfromD  
[Bridge]
EmAnd as we stood to claim the bags we checked
DHe said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
GItalian suits haven't Calways been my style
EmSee I was the quarterback of my high school team
DWe took state back in sixty three
CAnd my wife, she's still my homecoming Dqueen
[Chorus 3]
GCuz I'm from the front pew of a Cwooden white church
GA courthouse clock thaCt still don't work
GWhere a man's word Emmeans everythinCg
GWhere moms and dads were high school fClames
GAnd gave their children grandmotherCs maiden names
GYes it may not sound like Dmuch
CI said it may not sound like Dmuch
DBut it's where I'm GfromC  
DIt's where I'm GfromC  
DIt's where I'm GfromC  D
