Where I Come From

I grew up down South where the dirt roads wind,

Pine trees whisper and the world feels kind.

T-top Chevy with the speakers loud,

Thought I owned the county, actin’ young and proud.

Took that curve too fast one night,

Wrapped it ’round a tree but I walked out alright.

(Chorus)

’Cause that’s where I come from—

Sun-baked days and the nights run long.

Jumpin’ in the springs out in old DeLand,

Cold water hittin’ like a second chance.

Little league fields and a pitcher’s glove,

Fastballs flyin’ like a kid in love.

And when the weekends came, you’d find me

Down at Daytona Beach ridin’ wild and free.

(Verse 2)

Had dreams bigger than that small-town map,

Dust on my boots, ball cap pushed back.

Summers spent chasin’ something I can’t name,

Sand on my feet and salt in my veins.

Those Florida sunsets taught me slow,

And the ocean breeze taught me to let go.

(Chorus)

’Cause that’s where I come from—

Sun-baked days and the nights run long.

Jumpin’ in the springs out in old DeLand,

Cold water hittin’ like a second chance.

Little league fields and a pitcher’s glove,

Fastballs flyin’ like a kid in love.

And when the weekends came, you’d find me

Down at Daytona Beach ridin’ wild and free.

(Bridge)

I still hear those old dirt roads call,

Still feel the heat of a late-night brawl.

Still smell the pine, still taste that air—

The South raised me and it’s always there.

(Final Chorus)

Yeah, that’s where I come from—

Where a boy grows up strong.

Springs in DeLand, baseball dreams,

T-top scars and beach town scenes.

From the backwoods bends to the Daytona sea,

That Southern life still lives in me.
