. . . lwas raised in

Pocahontas Illinois

Everybody thought of me

as one of the boys
Cause I'd run

with a crowd

that was tough

At fifteen l was
tendin' Big 0's Bar

I'd sing till two AM

for a half full tip jar

Spent my youth
singin' truth payin' dues

I'm the biggest thing
that ever came

from my hometown
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 fightin' 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

Pocahontas proud
Pocahontas proud
At twenty-seven

I had baby Grace

l 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

I'm the biggest thing
If it's the last thing
I do before they lay

me in the ground

You know I'm gonna
make Pocahontas proud

I was raised in

Pocahontas Illinois
Pocahontas proud

You know I'm gonna

Pocahontas Illinois
Pocahontas proud

You know I'm gonna

make Pocahontas proud

Pocahontas proud
Look out Pocahontas

Love ya

Pocahontas proud
Look out Pocahontas

Love ya
