Pocahontas Proud Lyrics - Here For The Party - Gretchen Wilson

I was raised in Pocahontas Illinois 

Everybody thought of me as one of the boys 

Because I'd run with the crowd that was tough 

At 15 I was tendin' Big O's Bar 

Singing till two a.m. for a half full tip jar 

Spent my youth singing truth payin' dues 

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 

They looked down at me and said girl go back home you ain't got what we need in this town 

They couldn't whup the fightin' side of me 

You know where I come from we don't give up easily 

Over night it 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 

Pocahontas proud 

At 27 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,
