Where I'm from is not where I'm from anymore
I'm moved out, got away and closed that door
The Mississippi River rolls on by
If I get down that way
So do I
Where I'm from was never gonna be my place
Never saw a future or a friendly face
I took a chance and left it all behind
Now where I'm from weighs heavy
On my mind
Where I'm from is not where I'm from
Not these days
Where I'm at is better in so many ways
If I get down that way I just feel numb
Maybe that was never
Where I'm from
Where I'm from is not where I'm from anymore
