Think I might go work Orlando - if them orange groves don't freeze,

With a southern accent - where I come from.

There's a dream I keep having - where my momma comes to me,

F#mEADE
With a southern accent - where I come from.

Got my own way of living - but everything is done,
F#mED
With a southern accent - where I come from.
