Paragraph Lyric
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
The yankees call it dump
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 baring
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'
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
There's a southern accent, where I come from  The young 'uns call it country  The yankees call it dump  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 baring  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'  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
