Where i come from Alan Jackson
Alan did a great job on the CD 'When somebody Loves You'. I transcribed
this song and I found it easy to get the tempo. It is up beat and has a
'truckers beat.' I am not sure who wrote it but they did a great job of
wording. This is the way 'Where I Come From works' for me.
'WHERE I COME FROM'
