Biografía:
Robbie Fulks, cantautor norteamericano y figura clave en la escena country alternativa. Robbie había comenzado en la banda de bluegrass Special Consensus, con quienes llegó a grabar a finales de los años '80. Más tarde formó su propia banda y acabó por lanzarse en solitario, primero con la inclusión de dos temas en sendos recopilatorios del citado sello, luego con estos 13 temas que desbordan el género constantemente y que poco tienen que ver, a pesar del título, con canciones de amor.

[Intro]
C#m Bsus Asus E
[Verse 1]
Asus E
Back in the driveway
B
The end of the workday
Asus E
How fast that world disappears
Asus E
A fresh lawn, a pine tree
B C#m
A neighbor just like me
Asus B
Who's worked all his life to get here
C# Asus E
A man climbs as high as he can
C# Asus B
But his heart belongs where it began
[Verse 2]
Asus E
I can see in my mind's eye
B
A shack on a hllside
Asus E
A mean billy-goat on a chain
Asus E
And Dad doing battle
B C#
With dirt hard as gravel
Asus B
And summers the crops never came
C# Asus E
We'd shoot down a pheasant in flight
C# Asus B
And sing songs about Jesus all night
[Refrain]
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where time passes slower
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
E Asus
You can't tell I'm country
C#
Just you look closer
B Asus
It's deep in my blood
Asus E
Two cars, a picket fence
B C# B
That's where I've come
Asus E
Dirt roads and double-wides
B E
That's where I'm from
[Verse 3]
Asus E
Night school on a fast track
B
And no cause to look back
Asus E
That place put a scar on my soul
Asus E
And I swore to my young ones
B C#
Would never know hunger
Asus B
And the good life is all they know
C# A E
Well, I've watched them grow, now I see
C# A B
One thing separates them from me
[Refrain]
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where time passes slower
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
E Asus
If you can't tell I'm country
C#
Then just you look closer
B Asus
It's deep in my blood
[Verse 4]
Asus E
A white collar, a necktie
B C# B
That's where I've come
A E
Half-nekkid in the moonshine
B E
That's where I'm from
C# A E
If you've ever heard Hank Williams sing
C# A B
Then brother, you know the whole blessed thing
[Refrain]
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where time passes slower
E B
That's where I'm from
B E
Where it's yes ma'am and no sir
E Asus
If you can't tell I'm country
C#
Then just you look closer
B Asus
It's deep in my blood
[Outro]
Asus E
A long way down a hard road
B C# B
That's where I've come
A E
Someplace I can't go home to
B E
That's where I'm from
