Karaoké Pocahontas Proud Gretchen Wilson

I was raised in Pocahontas

Illinois

Everybody thought of me as one of the boys

'Cos 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 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 know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud

I knocked on every door on music row

But they looked down to 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

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

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

I was raised in Pocahontas

Illinois

Pocahontas proud

You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud

Pocahontas proud

Good night Pocahontas we love you
