Southern Accents

Southern Accents Lyrics

HERE'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 TALKING, BUT EVERYTHING GETS DONE
WITH A SOUTHERN ACCENT, WHERE I COME FROM

NOW THAT DRUNK TANK IN ATLANTA, IS JUST A MOTEL ROOM TO ME
THINK I MIGHT GO WORK ORLANDO, IF THEM ORANGE GROVES DON'T FREEZE
GOT MY OWN WAY OF WORKING, 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 HAVING, WHERE MY MOMMA COMES TO ME
AND KNEELS DOWN OVER BY THE WINDOW, AND SAYS A PRAYER FOR ME
GOT MY OWN WAY OF PRAYING, BUT EVERYTHING ONE'S BEGUN
WITH A SOUTHERN ACCENT, WHERE I COME FROM

GOT MY OWN WAY OF LIVING, BUT EVERYTHING IS DONE
WITH A SOUTHERN ACCENT, WHERE I COME FROM
