Lyrics

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 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
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 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
I got my own way of livin' but everything gets done
With a southern accent where
I come from
