There's A Southern Accent, Where I Come From

The Young 'uns Call It Country

The Yankees Call It Dumb

I Got My Way Of Talkin'

But Everything Is Done, With A Southern Accent

Where I Come From



Now That Drunk Tank In Atlanta's

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'

But Everything Is Run, With A Southern Accent

Where I Come From



I Got My Way Of Working

When 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



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'

But Everyone's Begun

With A Southern Accent

Where I Come From



We Have Our Own Way Of Livin'

But Everything Is Done

With A Southern Accent

Where I Come From
