I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois Everybody thought of me as one of the boys Because I'd run with the crowd that was tough At 15 I was tendin' Big O's Bar Singing till two a.m. for a half full tip jar Spent my youth singing truth payin' 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 They looked down at me and said girl go back home you ain't got what we need in this town They couldn't whup the fightin' side of me You know where I come from we don't give up easily Over night it 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 27 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,
