Pocahontas Proud

[00:17.24] I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois
[00:21.80] Everybody thought of me as one of the boys
[00:27.21] 'Cause I'd run with a crowd that was tough
[00:33.69] At fifteen I was tending Big O's Bar
[00:38.11] I'd sing 'til two a.m. for a half full tip jar
[00:42.82] Spent my youth singing truth, paying dues
[00:50.10] CHORUS:
[00:51.03] I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
[00:55.55] And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down
[01:01.00] If it's the last thing I do before they lay me
[01:03.72] In the ground
[01:07.42] You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
[01:14.75] I knocked on every door on music row
[01:19.32] But they looked down at me and said "Girl go back home"
[01:24.16] You ain't got what we need in this town
[01:31.40] But they couldn't whup the fighting side of me
[01:35.99] You know where I come from we don't give up easily
[01:41.35] Overnight took all my life to be found
[01:47.78] I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
[01:54.09] And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down
[01:58.75] If it's the last thing I do before they lay me
[02:01.44] In the ground
[02:05.94] You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
[02:26.84] At twenty-seven I had baby Grace
[02:34.14] I was born again when I saw her sweet face
[02:38.18] And I knew she was the greatest thing I'd ever do
[02:56.24] I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
[03:01.11] And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down
[03:05.67] If it's the last thing I do before they lay me
[03:09.22] In the ground
[03:12.92] I'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
[03:17.44] And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let 'em down
[03:21.16] If it's the last thing I do before they lay me
[03:25.77] In the ground
[03:28.99] You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
[03:40.78] I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois
[03:59.72] Pocahontas proud
[04:07.92] You know I'm gonna make Pocahontas proud
[04:18.88] Pocahontas proud
[04:25.28]
