southern accents

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 she says a prayer for me

i got my own way of prayin'

and every one'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

where i come from
