Pocahontas Proud lyrics

I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois
Everybody thought of me as one of the boys
Cause I`d run with a croud that was tough
At fifteen i was tending Big O`s Bar
I`d sing till two AM for a half full tip jar
Spent my youth singing truth, paying dues

[Chorus]
I`m the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if i`m gonna let em down
If it`s the last thing i do before they lay me in the ground
You know i`m gonna make Pocahontas proud

I knocked on every door on music row
But they looked down at me and said `Girl go back home`
You ain`t got what we need in this town

But they couldn`t whup the fighting side of me
You know where i come from we don`t give up easily
Overnight took all my life to be found

I`m the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if i`m gonna let em down
If it`s the last thing i do before they lay me in the ground
You know i`m gonna make Pocahontas proud `Pocahontas proud`

At twenty seven i had baby Grace
I was born again when i saw her sweet face
And i knew she was the greatest thing I`d ever do

I`m the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And ill be damned if i`m gonna let em down
If it`s the last thing i do before they lay me in the ground
You know i`m gonna make Pocahontas proud
