I don't [C]know about that accent son, just [D]where [NC]did you come from?

To [G]try their brand of barbecue, the [C]sign said finger-[D]lickin'
Well, I [G]paid the tab and the lady asked me [C]how'd I like my [D]biscuit
I'll be [C]honest with you ma'am, it [D]ain't [NC]like mama fixed it.
|[Chorus 2]
|Cause where [G]I come from, it's [C]cornbread and [D]chicken

|Where [G]I come from, [C]tryin' to make a [D]livin'
|And [F]workin' hard to get to [C]heaven, where I come [G]from.
