Pocahantas Proud Lyrics

Pocahantas Proud lyrics

I was raised in Pocohantas Illinois

Everybody thought of me as one of the
boys

Cause I'd run with a crowd that was tough

At fifteen I was
tending Big O's Bar

I'd sing till two AM for half a tip jar

Spent
my youth singing truth, paying dues



I'm the biggest thing that
ever came from my home town

And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let em
dow

If it's the last thing I do before they lay me in the ground

You know I'm gonna make Pocahantas 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 I'll 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 Pocahantas 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 I'll 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 Pocahantas proud
