He then goes on to describe his town through different examples. For example, "There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt Where I come from" shows their laid back church, but strong religious views. It also repeats the strong religious views "Where I come from That little white church is gonna have a crowd" In the third verse he expressed the values of hard work, and respect, by revealing that the old man in the rocking chair is wealthy with just one day of schooling and chooses to not allow money to affect his life style.
Throughout the entire song he repeats how he is proud of where he comes from. For people who can relate to this song because they live in a small southern town of themselves become just as proud as Montgomery. For the people who can't relate because they live in a city, or bigger town gain a new outlook on these smaller southern towns, and gain a new respect for them as well.

Lyrics are below:
Don't you dare go runnin' down
My little town where I grew up
And I won't cuss your city lights
If you ain't ever took a ride around
And cruised right through the heart of my town
Anything you'd say would be a lie
We may live our lives a little slower
But that don't mean I wouldn't be proud to show ya
Where I come from,
There's an old plowboy turnin' up dirt
Where I come from,
There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt
Where I come from
Where a couple boys fight in the parking lot
No, nobody's gonna call the cops
Where I come from
See that door right there
Man, I swear that it ain't never been locked
And I guarantee that it never will
That ol' man right there in the rockin' chair
At the courthouse square, I'll tell ya now
He could buy your fancy car with hundred dollar bills
Don't let those faded overalls fool ya
He made his million without one day of schoolin'
Where I come from
There's a pickup truck with the tailgate down
Where I come from
The pine trees are singin' a song of the South
Where I come from
That little white church is gonna have a crownd
Yeah, I'm pretty damn proud
Where I come from
Where I come from
There's a big ol' moon shinin' down at night
Where I come from
There's a man done wrong gonna make it right
Where I come from
There's an old plowboy turnin' up dirt
Where I come from
There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt
Where I come from
Where a couple boys fight in the parking lot
No, ain't nobody gonna call the cops
Yeah, that river runs across that ol' flat rock
Where I come from
Where I come from
My little town where I grew up
And I won't cuss your city lights
If you ain't ever took a ride around
And cruised right through the heart of my town
Anything you'd say would be a lie
We may live our lives a little slower
But that don't mean I wouldn't be proud to show ya
Where I come from,
There's an old plowboy turnin' up dirt
Where I come from,
There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt
Where I come from
Where a couple boys fight in the parking lot
No, nobody's gonna call the cops
Where I come from
See that door right there
Man, I swear that it ain't never been locked
And I guarantee that it never will
That ol' man right there in the rockin' chair
At the courthouse square, I'll tell ya now
He could buy your fancy car with hundred dollar bills
Don't let those faded overalls fool ya
He made his million without one day of schoolin'
Where I come from
There's a pickup truck with the tailgate down
Where I come from
The pine trees are singin' a song of the South
Where I come from
That little white church is gonna have a crownd
Yeah, I'm pretty damn proud
Where I come from
Where I come from
There's a big ol' moon shinin' down at night
Where I come from
There's a man done wrong gonna make it right
Where I come from
There's an old plowboy turnin' up dirt
Where I come from
There's a preacher man in a cowboy shirt
Where I come from
Where a couple boys fight in the parking lot
No, ain't nobody gonna call the cops
Yeah, that river runs across that ol' flat rock
Where I come from
Where I come from
