"Ain't From Here" lyrics

"Ain't From Here"

I'm proud to be from Rocky Top
That's where I was born and raised
I've worn the orange and white with proud all my life
Gone to most of the football games
I've never understood when people
Said they can't wait to leave this town
But to get rid of me
You'd have to drag me out

'Cause I'm a boy from Appalachia
And I enjoy a smoky mountain high
Lived off the Tennessee river all my life
Don't go anywhere without my grandpa's knife
Everyone around me likes cold beer
So if you're confused, I know you ain't from here

You bet your ass we raise some hell
Down in Neyland Stadium
And get used to everybody 'round here
Saying this year is the one
Ask anybody in Knoxville
Kenny Chesney still rocks
We play "Boys of Fall" on gameday
In the G10 parking lot

'Cause I'm just a boy from Appalachia
And I enjoy a smoky mountain high
Lived off the Tennessee river all my life
Don't go anywhere without my grandpa's knife
Everyone around me likes cold beer
So if you're confused, I know you ain't from here
I know you ain't from here

My daddy said, when he's gone
To promise him one thing
He said, bury me in East Tennessee
That's where I wanna be

'Cause I'm just a boy from Appalachia
And I enjoy a smoky mountain high
Lived off the Tennessee river all my life
Don't go anywhere without my grandpa's knife
Everyone around me likes cold beer
So if you're confused, I know you ain't from here
I know you ain't from here

I'm proud to be from Rocky Top
That's where I was born and raised
