(intro) EAB7 (3x) DAEEAB7
I was rolling wheels and shifting gears 'round that Jersey turnpike,
EAB7
when Barney stopped me with his gun ten minutes after midnight.
EAB7
Said, Sir, you broke the limit in that rusty ol’ truck.
AB7
I don’t know about that accent son, just where did you come from?
I said…
EAB7
Where I come from, it’s cornbread and chicken,
EAB7
where I come from, a lot of front porch sitting.
EAB7
Where I come from, trying to make a living,
DAE
and working hard to get to heaven, where I come from.

I was south of Detroit City, pulled in this country kitchen,
EAB7
to try their brand of barbecue, sign says “finger licking”.
EAB7
Well, I paid the tab and the lady asked me, how’d I like my biscuit?
AB7
I’ll be honest with you, M’am, it ain’t like Moma fixed it.
'Cause

3. I was chasing sun on 101, somewhere 'round Ventura,
EAB7
I had lost a universal joint, and I had to use my finger.
EAB7
This tall lady stopped and asked if I had plans for dinner,
AB7
I said, No, thanks, Ma’m, back home we like the girls that sing soprano.
'Cause
EAB7
Where I come from, it’s cornbread and chicken,
EAB7

(intro) EAB7 (3x) DAEEAB7
I was heading home on 65, somewhere around Kentucky,
EAB7
the CB rang from a bobtail rig, that’s a rolling on like thunder.
EAB7
Well, I answered him and he asked me, Aren’t you from out in Tulsa ?
AB7
No, but you might’a seen me there, I just dropped a load of salsa
EAB7
Where I come from, it’s cornbread and chicken,
