This Is Where I Come from Lyrics

I may not be an orphane
But I came up alone.
My brother beat himself down,
My mother worked herself to the bone.
I may not know my father,
But I shall know my son.
They say your sins are past down to ya,
And I'm paddling everyone.

Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.
Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.

Forgiveness is a medicine,
My dad is just a heavy load.
Oh, I got lost out there somewhere in the searching,
But I found me friends along the road.

And then the old man next to the payphone down at the busstation, he turned to me and said:
He said son, just go home again.
Oh... cause the place where you'll end up finding what you're looking for, oh is just the place where you began.

Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.
(my home, my home)
Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.
(you know my home, my home)

Somewhere where we all come from, somewhere where we all come from.
Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.
(this is my home)
Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.
(home)
Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is where I will go.
Oh... this is where I come from,
This is where I come from, this is my home.
