Where I'm Coming From - Brandon Ratcliff

If you ain't from where I'm from You might have never heard the rain on an old tin roof Kicked an inch of dirt off an ol' pair of boots Like I did (like I did) If you ain't from where I'm from You might have never got a truck stuck in the mud Mixed coke and club in a Sonic cup On a weekend (on a weekend) Oh, it might sound crazy But oh, that's what made me You might think there ain't much to it You wouldn't know unless you've been through it Think it's all backroads, bonfires, cornfields, and country music Might be just some town you ain't heard of It ain't all you know and everything you love Yeah, you might have never done anyone of those things I've done If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from If you ain't from where I'm from You might have never heard a choir of crickets sing Learned a dirt road lesson on a front porch swing Like I did (like I did) If you ain't from where I'm from You might have never left you doors unlocked Or kissed a boy on a pinewood dock on a riverbed While the sun sets You might think there ain't much to it But you wouldn't know unless you've been through it Think it's all backroads, bonfires, cornfields, and country music Might be just some town you ain't heard of It ain't all you know and everything you love Yeah you might have never done anyone of those things I've done If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from Oh, it might sound crazy But oh, that's what made me You might think there ain't much to it But you wouldn't know unless you've been through it Think it's all backroads, bonfires, cornfields, and country music Might be just some town you ain't heard of It ain't all you know and everything you love Yeah you might have never done any one of those things I've done If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from If you ain't from where I'm from Where I'm from, where I'm from

With your head up in the clouds You try to win the race You're the leader of the pack Always The candle keeps burning from both ends Until it's blowing out with a bang When you think you know the game You don't know anything at all You cross the red line once again Free fall Hope you've learned your lesson well my friend 'Cause there will always be a second chance When you know where you come from You know where you're going Just because you're a child of your time When you know where you come from You back down for no one Just be true to yourself, it's your life With your head up in the clouds Your angels by your side Someone up there keeps your dreams Alive The candle keeps burning from both ends And the road calls your name once again When you know where you come from You know where you're going Just because you're a child of your time When you know where you come from You back down for no one Just be true to yourself, it's your life Just be true to yourself, it's your life And you keep driving down the highway of your life There is no exit sign at all There is a warning light that's flashing all the time And only you can stop your downfall When you know where you come from You know where you're going Just because you're a child of your time When you know where you come from You back down for no one Just be true to yourself, it's your life Just be true to yourself, it's your life Just be true to yourself, it's your life...

Do You Know Where You're Going To? Do you like the things that life is showin' you? Where are you going to? Do you know? Do you get what you're hopin' for When you look behind you? There's no open doors What are you hopin' for? Do you know? Once we were standin' still in time Chasin' the fantasies that filled our minds You knew how I loved you but my spirit was free Laughin' at the questions that you once asked of me Do You Know Where You're Going To? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you goin' to? Do you know? Now lookin' back at all we've planned We let so many dreams just slip through our hands Why must we wait so long before we'll see How sad the answers to those questions can be? Do You Know Where You're Going To? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know? Do you get what you're hopin' for When you look behind you? There's no open doors What are you hopin' for? Do you know?

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
