Pocahontas Proud Lyrics

Intro: D
Verse 1:
I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois
Everybody thought of me as on of the boys
Cause Id run with the crowd that tough
Verse 2:
At 15 I was tendin big Os bar
And Id sing till 2am for a half-full tip jar
Spent my youth singin truth and payin dues
Im the biggest thing that ever came from my home town
And Ill be damned if Im gonna let em down
If its the last thing that I do
Before they lay me in the ground
You know Im gonna make Pocahontas proud
V:
And I knocked on every door on music row
They looked down to me and said,
Girl go back home you aint got what we need
In this town"
(Key Change)
They couldnt whoop the fightin side of me
N.C. B
Where I come from we dont give up easily over night
Took all my life to be found
Chorus:
Im the biggest thing that ever came from my home town
And Ill be damned if Im gonna let em down
If its the last thing that I do
Before they lay me in the ground
You know Im gonna make Pocahontas proud
Break: E A E B
At 27 I had baby Grace
I was born again when I saw her sweet face
And I knew, she was the greatest
Thing Id ever do
Repeat Chorus 2x:
Break: E
Bridge:
I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois
Outro: E A E B (Repeat over adlib until fade)
