[Verse 1]
F              C
I grew up in a small town
Bb                  C
Wheat fields for a downtown kinda place
F              C
There was really not much around—
Bb                  C
You blink and you miss it
F                  C 
I never knew what life would bring
Bb                  C
But I always had big dreams
F                     C
I loved to play my guitar and sing
Bb                     C
And every night I would wish that
  Dm                 C
I’d get a shot on the Opry stage
Bb                        C
And have people come and see me play
  Dm               C   
Blastin’ on the radio waves
Bb                      C
Enough to make my Mama cry

[Chorus]
              F  Gm  Am Bb
That’s where I come from
           C
That’s who I am
              F  Gm  Am Bb
Hard-working and God-blessed
             C 
Yes sir thank you ma’am
         Dm                C           Bb
The best things around that I have ever seen
          F     Gm    Am   Bb    C    F   Gm   Bb   C        
Came from small towns and big dreams

[Verse 2]
F                    C
Small town went and grew up
Bb                       C
But I never changed much by God’s grace
F                     C   
Friends and family kept in touch
Bb                   C
When I moved to Tennessee
F                      C
I sing my songs and travel ‘round
Bb                         C
I met a girl and we’re settling down
F                    C
We want to find a small town
Bb                      C
Where we can raise a family

[Chorus]
              F  Gm  Am Bb
That’s where I come from
           C
That’s who I am
              F  Gm  Am Bb
Hard-working and God-blessed
             C 
Yes sir thank you ma’am
         Dm                C           Bb
The best things around that I have ever seen
          F  Am Bb C F Bb C        
Came from small towns and big dreams

[Bridge]
Bb           
I’ve been around the world
          Gm           Bb
No matter anywhere I go
C               Bb
Even here in _____________
C                      Bb
I’ve found my kind of folks
           Gm          F
It’s about you and who you are
     Bb
It’s all a state of mind
           Gm    Am    Bb 
So as I’m giving you my heart
    C           F     C
I hope you’ll find…

[Chorus]
              F  Gm  Am Bb
That’s where I come from
           C
That’s who I am

Hard-working and God-blessed
             C 
Yes sir thank you ma’am
         Dm                C           Bb
The best things around that I have ever seen
         Dm                C           Bb
Just look around and you'll see just what I mean
         Dm                C           Bb
The best things around that I have ever seen
          F Am Bb C   F     C    Bb    C        
Came from small towns and big dreams

[Outro]

Bb           C
that's who I am
