Lyrics
People ask me, "Say, where you from?"
People inquire about my origin, asking where I come from.
And they say, "Son, where did you grow up?"
Others ask about my upbringing, wondering where I spent my formative years.
I just laugh 'cause that's still one thing I a'int done
I find it amusing because there's still one thing I haven't done.
Back up in them 'ol green hills where the dogwoods grow
Reflecting on the past in the green hills where dogwoods flourish.
That's the place you'll find my Tennessee home
