Dolly Parton - Southern Accents #Video

Music video by Dolly Parton performing Southern Accents.

Lyrics

I had to start writing and start singing
and it seems that the best songs often just appear
When the phrase southern accents hit me
off we went
There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The young'uns call it country,
the Yankee's call it dumb
Got my own way of talking
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
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 oh so real
For just a minute she was standing there with me
In that dream that I keep having
my momma comes to me
and she kneels down over by the window
and she says a prayer for me
Got my own way of prayin'
and every prayer's begun
with a southern accent
where I come from
Yes I'm proud to be what 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 got my own way of livin'
But everything gets done
with a southern, southern accent
where I come from
where I come from
