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 Was just a motel room to me
I think I might go work Orlando If them orange crows don't freeze
I've got my own way of working But everything is run
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've got my own way of praying And everyone's begun
With a southern accent where I come from
Instrumental
We have our own way of living And everything is done
With a southern accent where I come from
Instrumental
