A southerner without his accent
Is like a tree without its leaves
It’s like a cowboy without his brave, noble steed
A leper without his disease
I tried so hard to make it down there
Down in west Tennessee
But alas my luck finally ran out
And I decided to flee
Reject me because I conjugate my verbs
Suspect me because I know all these words
AND OH, IT’S SO PAINFUL
A southerner without his accent
Is like a miner without his coal
It’s like Santa Claus without a North Pole
Cindy without her mole
I tried so hard to fit in down there
By acting like one of the guys
But alas I don’t like potato guns
Or sweet potato pie
Reject me because I conjugate my verbs
Suspect me because I know all these words
AND OH, IT’S SO PAINFUL
It began a long, long time ago
When I was about five years old
Watching the news on my TV
And movies like Superman III
And there were no southern accents at all
Except for the stupid characters
I don’t want to be a stupid character
I wanted to be the hero
I wanted to save the world
I couldn’t do it with this accent
I couldn’t do it with this southern drawl
Now I have no accent at all
That's how I wanted it
That's how I needed it
