Southern Accents

There's a southern accent

Where I come from

The younguns call it country

The Yankees call it dumb

Got my own way of talkin'

But everything is done

With a southern accent

Where I come from, mmm

Now that drunk tank in Atlanta

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, mmm-mmm

For just a minute there, I was dreamin'

For just a minute, it was all so real

For just a minute, she was standin' there with me

Mmm-mmm

In that dream that I keep havin'

My mama comes to me

And she kneels down over by the window

And she says a prayer for me

I got my own way of prayin'

And every prayer's begun

With a southern accent

Where I come from, mmm-mmm

Yes, I'm proud of who I am

A southern girl from a southern town

I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed

No, I ain't, no, I ain't, no, I ain't

I got my own way of livin'

But everything gets done

With a southern, southern accent

Where I come from, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm

Where I come from
