Lyrics

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 got my own way of workin' but everything is run, with a southern accent where I come from

I got my own way of working when everything is wrong 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 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
