There’s a southern accent, where I   come from
       Em       D        G
The young’uns call it country
      C             D
The yankees call it dumb
          Em  D      G
I got my own way of talkin’
    C              D           Em    D    C
But everything is done, with a southern accent
   C (hold)
Where I come from
     G

          Em        D    G
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta’s
        Em    D      G
Just a motel room to me
         Em      D      G
Think I might go work Orlando
        C                     D
If them orange groves don’t freeze
          Em D       G
I got my own way of workin’
     C            D           Em     D   C
But everything is run, with a southern accent

C                      Em
In just a minute there I was dreaming
C                        Em
In just a minute it was all so real
A                          D        G         C
In just a minute she was standing there, with me

[Verse]
           Em      D    G
There’s a dream I keep having
          Em   D       G
Where my mama comes to me
     Em          D            G
And kneels down over by the window
         C            D
And says a prayer for me
          Em  D      G
I got my own way of prayin’
    C            D
But everyone’s begun
        Em    D    C
With a southern accent
C               G

But everything gets done
         Em   D    C
With a southern accent
C                  G
Where I come from
