Pocahontas Proud

I was raised in Pocahontas, Illinois
 Everybody thought of me as one of the boys
 'Cause I'd run with a crowd that was tough
 At fifteen I was tending Big O's Bar
 I'd sing 'til two a.m. for a half full tip jar
 Spent my youth singing truth, paying dues
 CHORUS:
 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 at me and said "Girl go back home"
 You ain't got what we need in this town
 But they couldn't whup the fighting 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
 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
