INTRO:
F C B C
F C B C
F C
I grew up in a small town
B C F
A wheat field for a downtown kinda place
C
There was really not much around
B C
You blink and you miss it
F C
I never knew what life would bring
B C
But I always had big dreams
F C
I loved to play my guitar and sing
B C
And every night I would wish that
B C
I'd get a shot on the Opry stage
B C
And have people come and see me play
B C
Blastin' on the radio waves
B C
Enough to make my momma cry
CHORUS
F B C F C
'Cause that's where I come from That's who I am
F B C F C
Hard workin' and God blessed "Yes, sir", "Thank you, ma'am"
F C B
The best things around that I have ever seen
B C F C F B C F C
Came from small towns and big dreams
That small town went and grew up
But I never changed much by God's grace
Friends and family kept in touch
When I moved to Tennessee
Sing my songs and travel 'round
I met a girl and we're settlin' down
We wanna find a small town
where we can raise a family
[CHORUS]
F
Been around the world, don't matter anywhere I go
C
Even here in Vancouver
I've found my kind of folks
B F
It's about you and who you are
F
It's all a state of mind
B F C
And as I'm giving you my heart I hope you find
'Cause that's where I come from, that's who I am
Hard workin' and God blessed
"Yes, sir", "Thank you, ma'am"
The best things around that I have ever seen
F C B
Just look around you'll see just what I mean
The best things around that I have ever seen
Came from small towns and big dreams
