Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The youngins call it country
The yankees call it dumb
[Chorus]
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
[Verse 2]
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
Is just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't freeze
[Chorus]
I got my own way of workin'
But everything is run
With a southern accent
Where I come from
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
There's a dream I keep havin'
Where my mama comes to me
Then kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me
[Chorus]
I got my own way of prayin'
But everyone's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
[Chorus]
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
