I was rolling wheels and shifting gears 'round that Jersey turnpike,
E A B7
when Barney stopped me with his gun ten minutes after midnight.
E A B7
Said, Sir, you broke the limit in that rusty ol’ truck.
A B7
I don’t know about that accent son, just where did you come from?
I said…
E A B7
Where I come from, it’s cornbread and chicken,
E A B7
where I come from, a lot of front porch sitting.
E A B7
Where I come from, trying to make a living,
D A E
and working hard to get to heaven, where I come from.

I was south of Detroit City, pulled in this country kitchen,
E A B7
to try their brand of barbecue, sign says “finger licking”.
E A B7
Well, I paid the tab and the lady asked me, how’d I like my biscuit?
A B7
I’ll be honest with you, M’am, it ain’t like Moma fixed it.

This tall lady stopped and asked if I had plans for dinner,
A B7
I said, No, thanks, Ma’m, back home we like the girls that sing soprano.

I was heading home on 65, somewhere around Kentucky,
E A B7
the CB rang from a bobtail rig, that’s a rolling on like thunder.
E A B7
Well, I answered him and he asked me, Aren’t you from out in Tulsa ?
A B7
No, but you might’a seen me there, I just dropped a load of salsa
