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 is just a motel room to me
I think I might go work Orlando if them orange groves don't freeze
I got my own way of workin' and 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
And 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' and everyone's begun
With a southern accent where I come from
I got my own way of livin' and everything is done
With a southern accent where I come from
