On a three hour flight from Memphis to LA
   F                                     F
I was silently celebrating my first class upgrade
G              F           F
Laughing at my jeans and my boots
             F                           G
Beside those high dollar shoes and Armani suits

       F                                                  F
When the gentlemen next to me said the drinks up here are free
    F                                  F
So if you like, the first one can be on me
G                              F                      F
He said I'm heading back from business in New York and Rome

Tell me son, where do you call home?

Chorus 1
                   F               F
I said I'm from the front pew of a wooden white church
F                      F
A courthouse clock that still don't work
F                 Am              G
Where a man's word means everything
F                       F
Where moms and dads were high school flings
F                                   F
And gave their children grandmothers maiden names
F                        G
Yes it may not sound like much
G                   F   G
But it's where I'm from

Verse 3
F                                F
So we drank that round, and then another
F                                            F
There wasnt a topic in this world we did not cover
G                         F                F
He said I headed out west when I was barely nineteen
F                     G
Just a kid chasing my dreams

Verse 4
F                                               F
And I said Im flying out here to pick up my big brother
F                                 F
Hes been fighting the cancer they discovered
G                   F                F
But he called last night and said I think this is the end
               F                       G
So come take me home to my family and my friends

Chorus 2
F                             F
Where the quarterback dates the homecoming queen
F                       F
The truck's a ford and the tractor's green
F                    Am         DC
And amazing grace is what we sing
F                    F
Theres a county fair every fall
F                                   F
And your friends are there no matter when you call
F                     G
It may not sound like much
G                  F   G
But it's where I'm from

Verse 5
Am 
And as we stood to claim the bags we checked
G
He said I'll pray for your brother and did I mention that
F                    F
Italian suits havent always been my style
Am
See I was the quarterback of my high school team
G
We took state back in sixty three
F                                     G
And my wife, shes still my homecoming queen

Chorus 3

Cuz Im from the front pew of a wooden white church

A courthouse clock that still dont work

Where moms and dads were high school flings
