[F]
There's [Dm] a [E] southern [F] accent [Dm] where [C] I [F] come from.
[Dm] The youngins [C] call [F] it country, the Yankees [Bb] call [C] it dumb.
I got [Dm] my own [C] way [F] of talking, [Bb] but everything [C] is done
with [F]
[Dm] a [C] southern [Bb] accent where I come from.
Now
[F]
[Dm] that drunk [G] tank in [F] Atlanta is [Dm] just a [G] motel [F] room to me.
I think I might [G] go work [F] Orlando if the [Bb] morning's close.
[C] Don't freeze, I [Dm] got my own [C] way [F] of working, and [Bb] everything [C] is run
[F] with [Dm] a [C] southern [Bb] accent where I come from.
[F]
For
[Bb] just a minute there, [F] I [Dm] was dreaming.
[Bb] For just a minute, [Dm] it was all surreal.
[C] [G] For just a minute, she [C] was [F] standing there [Bb] with me.
[F] And as [Dm] a dream, [C] I [F] keep heavy.
I [Dm] got my own way of praying, where my mama [G] [F] comes to me
and [Dm] kneels [C] down [G] over [F] by the window and [Bb] says a prayer [C] for me.
[F] I got my [Dm] [C] own way [F] of praying, and [Bb] everyone's [C] begun
[F] with [Dm] a [C] southern [Bb] accent where I come from.
