Southern Accents

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
