The Deslondes - Where I'm From Lyrics

The Deslondes Lyrics

"Where I'm From"
(originally by Shelby Lynne)

Heaven knows this ain't no Margaret Mitchell
Where the oak trees meet the pines
Though it might sound kinda simple
Oh, but it's mine, yea, it's mine

Thought I heard a logman cutting timber
Down the Mississippi line
I'm up the old Tombigbee river
High as the tide, all the time

Elegamment les batos passant
Ben on la flota vec du van
All I'm tryna say
Is I'm never far away
From the Alabama frame of mind

Jubilation rising on the bayou
Celebration in the wind
Father Pat gives benediction
Cross the Coden bridge again

Crickets spreading rumors by the shoreline
With the lonesome lady whine
Crab trap full of nothing
I'm high as the pines, all the time

Elegamment les batos passant
Ben on la flota vec du van
All I'm tryna say
Is I'm never far away
From the Alabama frame of mind

Elegamment les batos passant
Ben on la flota vec du van
All I'm tryna say
Is I'm never far away
From the Alabama frame of mind

All I'm tryna say
Is I've never gone astray
From the Alabama frame of mind
