Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young'ins 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
[Verse 2]
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'
And everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from
[Verse 3]
For just a minute there I was dreaming
For just a minute it were all so real
For just a minute she was standing there, with me
[Verse 4]
There's a dream 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
[Verse 5]
I got my own way of livin'
And everything gets done
With southern accent
Where I come from
