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 talking
But everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't free me
I got my own way of working
But 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
Ooh, ooh
In that dream that I keep having
My Mama comes to me
And she kneels down over by the windows
And she says a prayer for me
I got my own way of praying
And every prayer's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
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 living
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
With a southern, southern accent
Where I come from
Where I come from
