Southern Accents - Johnny Cash

There’s a southern accent

Where I come from

The young’uns call it country

The Yankees call it dumb

I got my own way of talking

But everything is done

With a southern accent

Where I come from

Now that drunk-tank in Atlanta

Was 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 working

But everything is run

With a southern accent

Where I come from

For just a minute there I was dreaming

For just a minute it was all so real

For just a minute she was standing there

With me

There’s a dream I that I keep having

Where my mama comes to me

And she kneels down over by the window

And says a prayer for me

I got my own way of praying

And everyone’s begun

With a southern accent

Where I come from

We have our own way of living

But everything is done

With a southern accent

Where I come from
