Well I was rollin wheels and shiftin gears round that Jersey Turnpike
E

When Barney stopped me with his gun ten minutes after midnight
E

Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol truck
        G                                E
I dont know about that accent son, just where do you come from?

Chorus:
Lick starts
        E                      A
 I said where I come from its cornbread and chicken
E                                    A
Where I come from lot of front porch sittin
 E           A
Where I come from tryin to make a livin 
       B7                     A            E
Workin hard to get to heaven where I come from


Verse II:
E

Well I was south of Detroit city, pulled in this country kitchen
E

To try their brand of barbeque the sign said finger lickin
E

Well I paid the tab and the lady asked me howd I like my biscuit

Workin hard to get to heaven where I come from
