[Verse 1]
There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The younguns call it country
The Yankees call it dumb
[Chorus]
Got my own way of talkin'
But everything is done
With a southern accent
Where I come from, mm
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I got my own way of workin'
But everything is run
With a southern accent
Where I come from, mm-mm
[Bridge]
For just a minute there, I was dreamin'
For just a minute, it was all so real
For just a minute, she was standin' there with me
Mm-mm
[Verse 3]
In that dream that I keep havin'
My mama comеs to me
And she kneels down over by thе window
And she says a prayer for me
[Chorus]
I got my own way of prayin'
And every prayer's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from, mm-mm
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
With a southern, southern accent
Where I come from, mm-mm, mm-mm
Where I come from

I was fortunate enough to get to know Tom over the years. He’s such an iconic artist and important songwriter. I’m so honored to be a part of this special album and to be able to share my version of one of Tom’s best songs, ‘Southern Accents’.
