Lyrics
DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM
[ INSTRUMENTAL INTRO ]
Whoa
All right
[ VERSE 1 ]
Daddy told me he left home,
The day he turned eighteen,
With just his clothes and his beat up Ford truck,
A small town boy with big city dreams.
[ VERSE 2 ]
Grandma told me that she cried,
The day my Daddy left his roots.
Wearin the gold pocket watch grandpa gave him,
And his old, worn out cowboy boots.
[ CHORUS ]
She said "DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM,
And always be proud of your family name.
No matter what course of life you choose,
Whether you find misfortune or fame.
No DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM".
[ INSTRUMENTAL BAR ]
[ VERSE 3 ]
Well, Daddy cried when I left home.
He said I've grown up way too fast.
But GI Joes and pick-up trucks,
Well they were never meant to last.
[ VERSE 4 ]
Knew love I grew up with,
Was always meant to set me free.
Daddy handed me his pocket watch,
Then he whispered tenderly.
[ REPEAT CHORUS ]
He said "DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM,
And always be proud of your family name.
No matter what course of life you choose,
Whether you find misfortune or fame.
No DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM".
[ INSTRUMENTAL BAR ]
[ VERSE 5 ]
The angels took my Grandpa home.
They came for him in early Spring.
I cried when I wore that pocket watch,
It reminded me of so many things.
[ VERSE 6 ]
Well, It won't be long until the day,
When my son will move away.
I know exactly what I'll give him,
I know exactly what I'll say.
[ REPEAT CHORUS ]
"DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM,
And always be proud of your family name.
No matter what course of life you choose,
Whether you find misfortune or fame.
DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM".
[ BRIDGE ]
If you find yourself alone,
Remember you can always come back home.
DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM.
No No, DON'T FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM.
[ INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO ]
mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mmmm
Don't forget, boy !
