Don't You Know I'm from Here

I could get here with my eyes closed and one hand on the wheel
But I like to see the rows and rows of corn it makes me feel
Like a kid again, I slowly watch my hometown reappear
I know my accent's gone but I would not put you on
Don't you know I'm from here?

I left here full of vinegar back in '99
Guitar in my back seat, big time on my mind
My desire to leave the old me in the dust
Could not have been more sincere
I looked down my nose at friends, turns out I might need them again
Don't you know I'm from herе?

Don't you know I'm from here?
They didn't еven crack a smile
Don't you know I'm from here?
Though I've been gone for a while
Maybe this little town looked better in my rearview mirror
Don't you know I'm from here?
Don't you know I'm from here?

So I went down to the grocery store for gasoline and Coke
There used to be a greasy spoon downstairs where you could smoke
One side was a hardware shop
With a little ice cream counter in the rear
But it does not look the same and nobody knows my name
Don't you know I'm from here?

Don't you know I'm from here?
They didn't even crack a smile
Don't you know I'm from here?
Though I've been gone for a while
Maybe this little town looked better in my rearview mirror
Don't you know I'm from here?
Don't you know I'm from here?

Well, I've never been a quitter, but I know when I've been beat
And it soothes my wounded pride to feel this dirt under my feet
So I'm looking for a job, nobody's hiring
That's been made perfectly clear
I'll find one eventually I know, cause I've got nowhere else to go
Don't you know I'm from here?

Don't you know I'm from here?
They didn't even crack a smile
Don't you know I'm from here?
Though I've been gone for a while
Maybe this little town looked better in the rearview mirror
Don't you know I'm from here?
Don't you know I'm from here?
Don't you know I'm from here?
Don't you know I'm from here?
