There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
And the Yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin'
Where everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's
Just a motel room to me
I guess I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't freeze
I got my own way of workin'
Where everything is done
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 you were standing there
With me
There's a dream I keep having
Where my daddy comes to me
Sits down at my bedside
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin'
Where everything's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
