Where I'm from it's work all week long.
Where I'm from it's pick-ups and tractors.
Here where I'm from it's chrome tips and steel toes.
Here where I'm from it's a honky tonk on Friday night with B&D playing.
Here at the Boonies it's moonshine in the morning and beer in the afternoon.
That's where im from.

&quot;I&#039;d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I&#039;m not&quot; <br /> &quot;Somewhere betweeen us talking, you saying I deserve better, and you making me laugh when I wanted to cry, I fell in love with you.&quot;
