Southern Accents

There's a southern accent, where I come fromThe young 'uns call it countryThe yankees call it dumbI got my own way of talkin'But everything gets done, with a southern accentWhere I come fromNow that drunk tank in Atlanta'sJust a motel room to meThink I might go work OrlandoIf them orange groves don't freezeI got my own way of workin'But everything is run, with a southern accentWhere I come from --For just a minute there I was dreamingFor just a minute it was all so realFor just a minute she was standing there, with meThere's a dream I keep havingWhere my mama comes to meAnd kneels down over by the windowAnd says a prayer for meGot my own way of prayin'But everyone's begunWith a southern accentWhere I come from --I got my own way of livin'But everything gets doneWith a southern accentWhere I come fromby: anikzinho :*[email protected]
