Well in the town where I was raised
The clock ticks and the cattle graze
Time passed with amazing grace

You can lie on a riverbank
Or paint your name on a water tank
Or miscount all the beers you drank

Is where when it's said and done
And I'm proud as anyone

We learned in Sunday school
Who made the sun through
I know who made the moonshine, too

Blue eyes on a Saturday night
Tan legs in the broad daylight
TVs, they were black and white

Is where when it's said and done
And I'm proud as anyone

Some say it's a backward place
Narrow minds on a narrow wage
But I make it a point to say

Where I'll be when it's said and done
And I'm proud as anyone

I'm an old Tennessean
And I'm proud as anyone
