With a southern accent - where I come from.[A(INTRO RIFF)]

Now that drunk tank in Atlanta - is just a motel room to

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

[]freeze,

Got my own way of working - but everything is run,

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

And kneels down over by the window - and says a prayer for

Got my own way of praying - but everything one's begun,
