Where I'm From (Jason Michael Carroll song)

"Where I'm From" is a song written by Patrick Davis and Joe Leathers, and recorded by American country music singer Jason Michael Carroll.

The song is Carroll's fourth Top 40 hit on the country charts.

The narrator explains that his older brother is sick with cancer (which is implied to be terminal) and has asked to be brought home to his family and friends.

In the third and final verse, the businessman promises to pray for the narrator's brother and reveals that he, too, had a rural upbringing.

[2] He stated in his review that "the chorus treads the same ground as Alan Jackson's 'Where I Come From' and any number of other songs, while the verses concoct a storyline that is not only cliché, but also improbable and unfocused to the point of distraction–ultimately sinking any possibility of success.
