Gretchen Wilson - Pocahantas Proud lyrics

I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois Everybody thought of me As one of the boys 'Cause I'd run with the crowd that was tough At 15, I was attending Big O's bar And I'd sing til' 2 am for A half full tip jar Spent my youth singing truth and paying dues I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down It's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud Well, I knocked on every door on music row But they looked down at me and said, "Girl, go back home You ain't got what we need in this town" But they couldn't whup the fighting side of me You know where I come from We don't give up easily Overnight took all my life to be found I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud, 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 I'd ever do I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground Know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois Pocahontas proud Know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud Pocahontas proud But now Pocahontas, I love you
