Pocahontas Proud Lyrics

Gretchen Wilson
Miscellaneous
Pocahontas Proud
i was 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 i was tendin Big O's bar
i'd sing til two am for a half full tip jar
spent my youth singing truth, paying dues

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 kno i'm gonna make pocahontas proud

i knocked on every door on music row
but they looked down at me and said "girl go bak home"
you ain't got what we need in this town

but they couldn't whup the fighting side of me
you kno where i come form 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 kno i'm gonna make 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 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 kno i'm gonna make pocahontas proud

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 kno i'm gonna make pocahontas proud
