Gretchen Wilson Pocahontas Proud Lyrics

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
