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.
