[ Originally by Tom Petty ]
There's a southern accent where I come from
The young 'uns call it country
The Yankees call it dumb
I've got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done with a southern accent
Where I come from
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've 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 standing there with me
In that dream I keep havin'
My mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And she says a prayer for me
I've got my own way of praying
And every prayer's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from
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've got my own way of living
But everything gets done
With a southern, southern accent
Where I come from
Where I come from
