[Verse 1]
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'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from

[Verse 2]
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
Was just a motel room to me
I think I might go work Orlando
If the 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 dreamin'
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standin' there with me

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
There's a dream that I keep havin'
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin'
But every prayer's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from
