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 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
