Johnny Cash Southern Accents lyrics

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 talkin' 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
I'd 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 dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real

For just a minute she was standing there with me

There's a dream 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 prayin' and everyone's begun
With a southern accent, where I come from

We have our own way of livin' and everything is done
With a southern accent, where I come from
