Lyrics
Where I Come From
It seems like lately when I watch TV
I notice things aren't like they used to be
Everybody?s tryin? to pass the buck
And they don't care who gets stuck
Well that aint what it's like where I come from
No that aint what it?s like where I come from
People sue each other over spilled coffee
Everybody wants something for free
There used to be a time when people just got along
Now they can't tell right from wrong
Well that aint what it's like where I come from
No that aint what it?s like where I come from
{CHORUS}
Where I come from people smile and wave
They stand up straight and salute the flag
Where I come from people work hard all day
But when the time is right they know how to play
That is what it's like where I come from
Yeah that is what it?s like where I come from
You can try to blame it on video games
Or kids that call each other names
Some people blame it on TV shows
I think it's parents with kids they don't know
That aint what it's like where I come from
No that aint what it?s like where I come from
{Chorus}
