Pocahontas Proud (Album Version)

I was raised in
Pocahontas
IllinoisEverybody thought of me
As one of the boys
Cause Id run with the crowd that was tough
At 15, I was attending
Big Os bar
And Id sing til 2 am for
A half full tip jar
Spent my youth singing truth and paying dues
Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And Ill be damned if
Im gonna let them down
Its the last thing
I do before they lay me in the ground
You know Im gonna make
Pocahontas proud
Well, I knocked on every door on music row
But they looked down at me and said,'Girl, go back homeYou aint got what we need in this town'
But they couldnt whup the fighting side of me
You know where
I come from
We dont give up easily
Overnight took all my life to be found
Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
And Ill be damned if
Im gonna let them down
If its the last thing
I do before they lay me in the ground
You know Im gonna make
Pocahontas proud,
Pocahontas proud
At 27, I had baby
GraceAnd I was born again
When I saw her sweet face
And I knew she was the greatest thing
Id ever do
Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
Ill be damned if
Im gonna let them down
If its the last thing
I do before they lay me in the ground
Im the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown
Ill be damned if
Im gonna let them down
If its the last thing
I do before they lay me in the ground
Know Im gonna make
Pocahontas proud
I was raised in
Pocahontas
IllinoisPocahontas proud
Know Im gonna make
Pocahontas proud
Pocahontas proud
But now Pocahontas,
I love you
