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 sou thern accent
Where i come from
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where i come from
