- Ja Rule Where I'm From 歌詞
- Lloyd Ja Rule
On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
Laughing at my jeans and my boots
Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits
When the gentleman next to me said the drinks up here are free
So if youd like the first one can be on me
He said im headin back from business in New York and Rome
Tell me son, Where do you call home
I said Im from the front pew of a wooden white church
The courthouse clock it still dont work
Where a mans word means everything
Where moms and dads were high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much
But its where Im from
So we drank that round and then another
There wasnt a topic in this world we did not cover
He said I headed out west when I was barely 19
Just a kid chasing my dreams
I said Im flying out here to pick up my big brother
Hes been fighting the cancer they discovered
But he called last night and said I think this is the end
So come take me home to my family and my friends
Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
The trucks a ford and the tractors green
And Amazing Grace is what we sing
Well theres a county fair every fall
And your friends are there every time you call
Yeah it may not sound like much but its
Where Im from
And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
He said Ill pray for your brother and did I mention that
Italiansuits havent always been my style
See I was quarterback of my high school team
We took state back in 63
And my wife, shes still my homecoming queen
Cause Im from the front pew of a wooden white church
A courthouse clock that still dont work
Where a mans word means everything
Where moms and dads wear high school flings
Gave their children grandmothers maiden name
Yes it may not sound like much
I said it may not sound like much but its where im from
its where im from
Its where Im from
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound..... .
