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 mama 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
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 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 mama 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 Explain Request ×
