Lyrics

[00:12.44] There's a southern accent,
[00:18.20] Where I come from.
[00:24.63] The young'uns call it country,
[00:30.60] The Yankees call it dumb.
[00:36.08] I got my own way of talkin',
[00:42.14] But everything is done,
[00:48.57] With a southern accent,
[00:54.07] Where I come from.
[00:59.02]
[01:06.13] Now that drunk-tank in Atlanta,
[01:11.84] Was just a motel room to me.
[01:17.71] Think I might go work Orlando,
[01:23.60] If them orange groves don't freeze.
[01:29.80] I've got my own way of workin',
[01:35.72] But everything is run,
[01:42.27] With a southern accent,
[01:47.82] Where I come from.
[01:54.23]
[02:07.44] For just a minute there I was dreaming.
[02:13.04] For just a minute it was all so real.
[02:19.00] For just a minute she was standing there,
[02:23.51] With me.
[02:26.34]
[02:35.61] There's a dream I that I keep havin',
[02:41.39] Where my mama comes to me.
[02:47.80] And she kneels down over by the window,
[02:53.76] And says a prayer for me.
[02:59.22] I got my own way of prayin',
[03:05.84] And everyone's begun,
[03:11.76] With a southern accent,
[03:16.96] Where I come from.
[03:23.07]
[03:52.86] We have our own way of livin',
[03:59.34] But everything is done,
[04:04.93] With a southern accent,
[04:11.41] Where I come from.
