Well, it was out on payne's prarie where I got my first kiss There's the schoolyard where we would play as kids We pulled arrowheads out of hogtown creek And when the cops came around, we'd all hide our drinks Where I come from It's a little like heaven And I can't stay gone too long Where I come from Where I come from Yeah (yeah) We could waterski out on melrose bay We could wear flip-flops on Christmas day Yeah, and when we had enough cash for gasoline Then we would all skip school and go to crescent beach Yeah, where I come from It's a little like heaven And I can't stay gone too long Where I come from Where I come from Yeah There's the old graveyard where my loved ones lie And the church still stands where I was baptized It's the place I go when I can't think clear So when my time is up, please bring me back here Back to where I come from Cause it's a little like heaven And I can't stay gone too long Where I come from Yeah, where I come from (where I come from) It's a little like heaven, yeah And I can't stay gone too long Where I come from (where I come from) Where I come from (I come from)
