Biography:
Robbie Fulks is an alt country artist originally from Raleigh, North Carolina but is a longtime Chicago, Illinois resident. He has been active for many years and is still recording and performing music. Fulks is known for his disdain of mainstream modern country and the country music industry, as exemplified by his scorching rebuke of Nashville titled "Fuck This Town." His live performances feature improvised rearrangments of his original songs, off-the-cuff musical humor, and covers of songs by Michael Jackson and Cher, among others.

[Intro]
C#m Bsus Asus E
[Verse 1]
Asus E
Back in the driveway
B
The end of the workday
Asus E
How fast that world disappears
Asus E
A fresh lawn, a pine tree
B C#m
A neighbor just like me
Asus B
Who's worked all his life to get here
C# Asus E
A man climbs as high as he can
C# Asus B
But his heart belongs where it began
[Verse 2]
Asus E
I can see in my mind's eye
B
A shack on a hllside
Asus E
A mean billy-goat on a chain
Asus E
And Dad doing battle
B C#
With dirt hard as gravel
Asus B
And summers the crops never came
C# Asus E
We'd shoot down a pheasant in flight
C# Asus B
And sing songs about Jesus all night
[Refrain]
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where time passes slower
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
E Asus
You can't tell I'm country
C#
Just you look closer
B Asus
It's deep in my blood
Asus E
Two cars, a picket fence
B C# B
That's where I've come
Asus E
Dirt roads and double-wides
B E
That's where I'm from
[Verse 3]
Asus E
Night school on a fast track
B
And no cause to look back
Asus E
That place put a scar on my soul
Asus E
And I swore to my young ones
B C#
Would never know hunger
Asus B
And the good life is all they know
C# A E
Well, I've watched them grow, now I see
C# A B
One thing separates them from me
[Refrain]
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where time passes slower
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
E Asus
If you can't tell I'm country
C#
Then just you look closer
B Asus
It's deep in my blood
[Verse 4]
Asus E
A white collar, a necktie
B C# B
That's where I've come
A E
Half-nekkid in the moonshine
B E
That's where I'm from
C# A E
If you've ever heard Hank Williams sing
C# A B
Then brother, you know the whole blessed thing
[Refrain]
E B
That's where I'm from

Where time passes slower

That's where I'm from

Where it's yes ma'am and no sir

Then just you look closer
B Asus
It's deep in my blood

A long way down a hard road
B C# B
That's where I've come
A E
Someplace I can't go home to

That's where I'm from
