Original lyrics
ENThere'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
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
Then 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
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done with a southern accent where I come from
