Southern Accents

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 talkin' but everything is done

With a southern accent where I come fromNow 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 fromFor 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 meThere'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 prayin' but everyone's begun

With a southern accent where I come from
