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 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 own 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?
And everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
