Southern Accents Songtext
von Dolly Parton

There′s a Southern accent
Where I come from
The young ones call it country
The Yankees call it dumb

Got my own way of talkin'
But everything is dumb
With a Southern accent
Where I come from, hmm

Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don′t freeze

I got my own way of workin'
But everything is run
With a Southern accent
Where I come from


For just a minute
There I was dreamin'
For just a minute
It was all so real
For just a minute
She was standin′ there with me, hm-mm

In that dream that I keep havin′
My mama comes to me
And she kneels down over by the window
And she says a prayer for me

I got my own way of prayin'
And every prayer′s begun
With a Southern accent
Where I come from, hm-mm

Yes, I'm proud of who I am
A Southern girl from a Southern town
I ain′t ashamed, I ain't ashamed, I ain′t ashamed
No, I ain't, no, I ain't, no, I ain′t

I got my own way of livin′
But everything gets done
With a Southern, Southern accent
Where I come from, hm-mm, hm-mm
Where I come from
