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 mm-mm
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
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 mm-mm
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
Mm-mm
In that dream I keep havin’
Where my mama comes to me
Then kneels down over by the window
And she says a prayer for me
I got my own way of prayin’
And every prayer’s begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from mm-mm
Yes I’m proud of where I am
A southern girl from a southern town
I ain’t ashamed I ain’t ashamed I ain’t ashamed
No I ain’t no I ain’t no I ain’t
I got my own way of livin’
But everything gets done
With a southern southern accent
Where I come from mm-mm mm-mm
Where I come from
