There's a southern accent - where I come from
     F#m      E       A             D               E
The young'uns call it country - the yankees call it dumb,
        F#m  E      A             D               E                                            
I got my own way of talking - but everything gets done,
       F#m  E    A            F#m E    A
With a southern accent - where I come from

         F#m        E    A                 F#m    E      A                                      
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta - is just a motel room to me,

Think I might go work Orlando - if them orange groves don't freeze,
       F#m E      A             D             E                                          
Got my own way of working - but everything is run,
       F#m E    D

F#m                     D                     
For just a minute there I was dreaming
F#m                      D                     
For just a minute it was all so real
B                         E        A             D                
For just a minute she was standing there - with me.
                                                       
          F#m   E      A                 F#m   E        A                                  
There's a dream I keep having - where my momma comes to me,
    F#m         E           A            D                 E                             
And kneels down over by the window - and says a prayer for me,
       F#m E      A             D                E                                       
Got my own way of praying - but everything one's begun,
       F#m E    A             D       E

Got my own way of living - but everything is done,
       F#m E    D
