Intro: 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 gets done, With a southern accent where I come from. Now that drunk tankin Atlanta is just a motel room to me, Think I might go work Orlando if them orange groves don't freeze, 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 I keep having where my momma comes to me, And kneels down over by the window and says a prayer for me, Got my own way of praying but everything one's begun, With a southern accent where I come from. Got my own way of livin but everything is done, With a southern accent where I come from.
