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' 
And 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 

And there'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' 
And everyone's begun 
With a southern accent 
Where I come from 

I got my own way of livin' 
And everything is done 
With a southern accent 
Where I come from
