Intro

  

Verse

There’s a south-ern 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  

Bridge

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 that 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’
And everyone’s begun
With a sou thern accent
Where I come from 
{Instrumental Verse]

We have our own way of livin’
And everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
