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

Was just a motel room to me

I think I might go work Orlando

If them orange groves don't freeze

I've 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 that I keep having

From where my mama comes to me

And she 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

We have our own way of livin'

And everything is done

With a southern accent

Where I come from
