There's a southern accent, Where I come from The young'uns call it country The Yankees call it dumb I got my own way of talkin' But everything is done, with a southern accent Where I come from Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's Was just a motel room to me Think I might go work Orlando If them orange groves don't freeze I got my own way of workin' But everything is run, With a southern accent Where I come from I got my own way of working When everything is wrong With a southern accent Where I come from For just a minute there I was dreaming For just a minute It was all so real For just a minute she was standing there, With me There's a dream I keep having Where my mama comes to me And she kneels down over by the window And says a prayer for me I got my own way of prayin' But everyone's begun With a southern accent Where I come from We have our own way of livin' But everything is done With a southern accent Where I come from
