Pocahontas Proud

歌詞

I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois Everybody thought of me as one of the boys 'Cause I'd run with a crowd that was tough At fifteen I was tending Big O's Bar I'd sing 'til two a.m. for a half full tip jar Spent my youth singing truth, paying dues CHORUS: I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me In the ground You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud I knocked on every door on music row But they looked down at me and said "Girl go back home" You ain't got what we need in this town But they couldn't whup the fighting side of me You know where I come from we don't give up easily Overnight took all my life to be found I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me In the ground You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud At twenty-seven I had baby Grace I was born again when I saw her sweet face And I knew she was the greatest thing I'd ever do I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me In the ground I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down If it's the last thing I do before they lay me In the ground You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois Pocahontas proud You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud Pocahontas proud
