[Verse 1]

I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois
Everybody thought of me as on of the boys
A G D
Cause I?d run with the crowd that tough
[Verse 2]

At 15 I was tendin? big O?s bar
And I?d sing till 2am for a half-full tip jar
A G D
Spent my youth singin truth and payin dues
A G D
I?m the biggest thing that ever came from my home town
A G D
And I?ll be damned if I?m gonna let ?em down
A G
If it?s the last thing that I do
D A G D A
Before they lay me in the ground
D
You know I?m gonna make Pocahontas proud
[Verse]

And I knocked on every door on music row
They looked down to me and said,
A G
?Girl go back home you aint got what we need
D
In this town"
(Key Change)

They couldn?t whoop the fightin? side of me

Took all my life to be found
