Southern Accents
Southern Echoes: Unveiling the Heartfelt Wisdom of a Southern Accent
Lyrics
There's a southern accent
There is a distinct way of speaking associated with the southern region.
Where I come from
Where I originate from.
The young uns call it country
The younger people label this way of speaking as representative of country living.
The Yankees call it dumb
People from the northern states of the US consider this way of speaking as unintelligent.
I got my own way of talking
I have my unique manner of communication.
But everything gets done
Tasks and activities are accomplished despite the difference in speech.
With a southern accent
Actions and operations are conducted while retaining the southern style of speech.
Where I come from
Originating place where the speaker's accent is prevalent.
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
A jail cell in Atlanta holds no significance to me.
Is just a motel room to me
It's merely a temporary space, akin to a lodging for me.
Think I might go work Orlando
Consideration of working in Orlando.
If them orange groves don't freeze
Dependent on the safety of the orange groves from freezing.
Got my own way of working
I have my unique approach to working.
But everything is run
Despite differences, things are managed and organized.
With a southern accent
Tasks and functions are influenced by the southern accent.
Where I come from
Where my roots lie, embodying the accent's influence.
For just a minute there I was dreaming
A brief moment of envisioning or imagining something.
For just a minute it was all so real
In that moment, the imagination seemed very realistic.
For just a minute she was standing there
During that fleeting moment, a woman was present beside me.
With me
She was accompanying me in that imagined scenario.
There's a dream I keep having
A recurring dream that the speaker experiences.
Where my momma comes to me
In this dream, the speaker's mother appears.
And kneels down over by the window
She kneels near the window in the dream.
And says a prayer for me
The mother prays for the speaker in this dream.
Got my own way of praying
Despite differences, the speaker has their unique way of praying.
But every one's begun
Every prayer begins in the speaker's unique style.
With a southern accent
Tasks and actions, even prayers, are influenced by the southern accent.
Where I come from
Reflecting the roots of the speaker, where their prayers originate.
Got my own way of living
The speaker's distinct way of living their life.
But everything gets done
Despite the uniqueness, things are accomplished and managed.
With a southern accent
Actions and accomplishments bear the influence of the southern accent.
Where I come from
The roots of the speaker reflect in everything despite their distinctive way of living.
