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 till two am for a half full tip jar

spent my youth singing truth

paying dues

i'm the biggest thing that ever came from my hometown

and ill 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"
