Lyrics

I was raised in pocahontas illinois
Everybody thought of me as one of the boys
Cause id run with the crowd that was tough
At 15 I was tending big os bar
And id sing til 2 am for a half full tip jar
Spent my youth singing truth paying dues

Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if im gonna let them down
If it's the alst thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know im gonna make pocahontas proud

I knocked on every door on music row
But they looked down at me and said girl go back home
You aint got what we need in this town
But they couldn't whup the fighting side of me
You kknow where I come from we don't give up easily
Overnight took all my life to be found

Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if im gonna let them down
If it's the alst thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know im gonna make pocahontas proud

At 27 I had baby grace
And I was born again when I saw her sweet face
And I knew she was the greatest thing id ever do

Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if im gonna let them down
If it's the alst thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know im gonna make pocahontas proud

Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if im gonna let them down
If it's the alst thing I do before they lay me in the ground
You know im gonna make pocahontas proud
