Intro: F
F Dm C F Dm C F
There's a southern accent where I come from
Dm C F Bb C
The young 'uns call it country the yankees call it dumb,
Dm C F Bb C
I got my own way of talking but everything gets done,
Dm C Dm Bb F
With a southern accent where I come from.
Now that drunk tankin 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.
Bb Dm
For just a minute there I was dreaming
Bb Dm
For just a minute it was all so real
G Bb F
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 livin but everything is done,
With a southern accent where I come from.
