Back Home (Where I Come From)
W. Jennings
INTRO: D
Well I [A]got me a lick on an old guitar
[A]About the best you ever heard
[A]I got me a song and I wrote it myself
But you can't believe the [D]words
[D](I can't even believe I wrote it)
I beat the DEA and the AMA
And the CMA to boot
I backed 'em up and I held 'em up
With a gun that wouldn't shoot
(Hell I didn't even have no bullets)
CHORUS:
Back [D]home where I come from
[A]That would've impressed everyone
[A]Beats anything they've seen under the sun
Back home where I come[D] from
SOLO: A D
Well I got me a wife but I got a divorce
Then you'll never guess what I did
I got alimony and child support
And I ain't even got no kids
(And that ain't bad for the kids)
But I do know the law and he's got a friend
Who's a friend of a friend of mine
There ain't no string that he can't pull
To get me in and out of a bind
(Ol' Jess can even push a spell)
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I'm a [A]little bit bubba and a redneck mother
[A]Like the Biblical prodigal son
CHORUS
OUTRO: D
