G         Em  D    G             Em D    G
There's a southern accent, where I  come from

    Em         D       G
The young 'uns call it country

    C               D
The Yankees call it dumb
[Chorus]
         Em  D      G
I got my own way of talkin'

    C             D            Em D     C
But everything is done, with a southern accent

                      G
Where I come from, mm-mm
[Verse 2]
         Em         D    G
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta

       Em    D       G
Just a motel room to me

        Em       D      G
Think I might go work Orlando

        C                   D
If them orange groves don't freeze
[Chorus]
         Em  D      G
I got my own way of workin'

Where I come from, mm-mm
[Bridge]
C                       Em7
For just a minute there I was dreamin'

For just a minute it was all so real

A                         D        G      C
For just a minute she was standin' there, with me

   G
Mm-mm
[Verse 3]
        Em         D/F#   G
In that dream that I keep havin'

   Em   D/F#     G
My mama comes to me

        Em          D/F#        G
And she kneels down over by the window

        C                 D
And she says a prayer for me
[Chorus]
         Em  D      G
I got my own way of prayin'

    C                D
And every prayer's begun

       Em D/F#   C
With a southern accent

                      G
Where I come from, mm-mm
[Bridge]
Em      D/F#           G
Yes I'm proud of where I am

Em         D/F#           G
A southern girl from a southern town

Em       D/F#             G
I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed, I ain't ashamed

     C                       D
No I ain't, no I ain't, no I ain't
[Out-Chorus]
         Em  D      G
I got my own way of livin'

    C               D
But everything gets done

       Em        D         C
With a southern, southern accent

C
Where I come from, mm-mm, mm-mm

G
Where I come from
