Introduction
When you listen to Randy Travis sing “Where That Came From,” you can’t help but feel like you’re sitting around a campfire, talking with an old friend who’s sharing a story that’s as real as it gets. The song captures those quiet moments when life feels heavy, but you’re still determined to see it through. It’s about resilience, love, and the strength we find in the people and places that hold us together.
Randy Travis has always had this magical way of bringing authenticity to every song, and “Where That Came From” is no different. It feels personal, almost like Randy is reflecting on his own life—the highs, the lows, and the love that’s carried him through. The song has a way of reminding you that no matter what challenges life throws at you, there’s a deep well of love and strength you can draw from, whether it’s from your faith, your family, or your sense of purpose.
Musically, the song is signature Randy Travis—smooth, traditional country with a steady rhythm that feels like it could be the soundtrack to a quiet evening drive or a moment of contemplation on the front porch. His voice, rich and full of soul, carries the weight of every lyric, pulling you into the emotion of the song. It’s simple yet profound, the kind of melody that sticks with you long after the song has ended.
The lyrics are what make “Where That Came From” really shine. It’s about those deep-rooted connections we have—whether it’s to a person, a place, or even an idea—that keep us grounded. There’s something incredibly comforting about the way Randy sings about finding strength in the familiar, in the things that have always been there for you. He’s not just talking about physical strength, but the emotional and spiritual strength we all need to keep moving forward.
You can almost picture someone at the end of a long day, weary but not beaten, reflecting on where their strength comes from and how it’s helped them survive. There’s a quiet determination in the song that’s relatable to anyone who’s ever faced hardship and found a way to carry on.
But what’s really beautiful about this song is that it doesn’t dwell on the struggles. Instead, it focuses on the wellspring of hope and support that we often forget is right in front of us. It’s a gentle reminder that we’re never really alone in our struggles and that sometimes, when you dig deep, you realize you have more strength than you thought. That’s the heart of this song: that enduring, quiet power of love and faith that gets you through.
Randy Travis has always had a gift for singing about life in a way that feels real and grounded, and “Where That Came From” is no exception. It’s the kind of song that feels like a conversation, where the words resonate because you’ve felt them yourself at some point. It’s a song about life, love, and everything in between—the perfect soundtrack for those reflective moments when you need a little reminder of where your strength really comes from.

Lyrics
She had eyes like diamonds
And they caught the light
Oh, but they were dark and deeper
Than the night
And when she’d smile
Out came the sun
And there ain’t no more where that came from
She had a dress that swayed
All around her knees
And a voice as soft
As a summer breeze
A touch that told me
I was the one
And there ain’t no more where that came from
I must have said to myself
There might be somebody else out there somewhere
I must have said to myself, it’s a great big world
Girls are everywhere
Oh, but now I know
There was only one
And there ain’t no more where that came from
And it ain’t like I ain’t been trying
To find someone
There just ain’t no more where that came from
Oh, where that came from
