[Verse]
           E                                
Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
A                  B       
'round that Jersey Turnpike
E                             
Barney stopped me with his gun
A                 B       
Ten minutes after midnight
E                                    A         B    
Said Sir you broke the limit in this rusty ol' truck
        A                         
I don't know about that accent son
B                           
Just where did you come from


[Chorus]
  B    E                
I said where I come from
A                  B      
It's cornbread and chicken
E                          A           B     
Where I come from a lot of front porch sitin'
E                 A            B     
Where I come from tryna make a livin'
    D                      A     
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
             E   
Where I come from


[Verse]
           E                    
Well I was south of Detroit city
                         B      
I pulled in this country kitchen
                      E       
To try their brand of barbecue
    E                      
The sign said fingerlickin'
       E                                 
Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me
A               B      
How'd I like my biscuit
        A                    
I'll be honest with you ma'am
B                  B       
It ain't like mama fixed it


[Chorus]
       E                
'cause where I come from
     A             B      
It's cornbread and chicken
E                          A                  
Where I come from a lot of front porch pickin'
E                 A            B     
Where I come from tryna make a livin'
    D                      A     
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
             E   
Where I come from

[Verse]
                         E              
I was chasin' sun on one hundred and one
A                B      
Somewhere around Ventura
      E                            A             B     
And I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
E                               
This tall lady stopped and asked
                   B     
If I had plans for dinner
A                             
Said No thanks ma'am back home
            B               B      
We like the girls that sing soprano


[Chorus]
       E                
'cause where I come from
A                  B      
It's cornbread and chicken
E                          A                 
Where I come from a lot of front porch sitin'
E                 A            B     
Where I come from tryna make a livin'
    D                      A     
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
             E   
Where I come from

[Verse]
           E                        
Well I was headin' home on sixtyfive
E                        
Somewhere around Kentucky
        E                      
And the CB rang the bobtail rig
A7              B           
It's rollin' on like thunder
E                                  
Well I answered him and he asked me
A                           
Aren't you from out in Tulsa
A                                
No but you might've seen me there
       B                      
I just dropped a load of salsa


[Chorus]
E                      A             B      
Where I come from it's cornbread and chicken
E                          A                  
Where I come from a lot of front porch pickin'
E                 A            B     
Where I come from tryna make a livin'
    D                      A     
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
A           
Where I come
E                           A             B      
Where I come from yeah it's cornbread and chicken
E                          A          B      
Where I come from a lot of back porch pickin'
E                 A     E      B     
Where I come from tryna make a livin'
D                          A     
And workin' hard to get to heaven
             E   
Where I come from
