There's [F#m] a [E] southern [A] accent [F#] where [F#m] I [E] [A] come from.

that [F#m] drunk tank [E] in [A] Atlanta was just [F#m] a motel [E] room [A] to me.
I think [F#m] I might go [E]
[A] work Orlando if [D] them orange [E] groves don't freeze.
I've [A] got my [F#m] own [E] way [A] of working, [D] but everything [F#m] [E] is wrong.

says a prayer [E] to me.
I've got [F#m] my [E] own way [A] of praying, [D] and everyone's [E] begun.
[F#m] With a [E] southern [D] accent where I come from.
