Southern Accents
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young ones 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 freeze
I got my own way of working
But everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from
Just a minute there I was dreaming
Just a minute it was all so real
Just a minute she was standing there, with me
There's a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of praying
But every one's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
I got my own way of living
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
The young ones 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 freeze
I got my own way of working
But everything is run, with a southern accent
Where I come from
Just a minute there I was dreaming
Just a minute it was all so real
Just a minute she was standing there, with me
There's a dream I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of praying
But every one's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
I got my own way of living
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
