Well, originally, I'm from South Carolina. Harder accent than those from NC...and I agree with you on Kentucky, that one's a tough one for me as well.

The Way I Talk
It's got a touch of the town where I grew up
Something in it them California girls love
Some people like to make a little fun of
The way I talk
It gets slower after three or four cold beers
And gets louder when I'm cheerin' on the Volunteers
Folks know I'm country, when they hear
The way I talk
I sounds a little bit like my daddy
I don't cuss around my mama
Got some words you've never heard
'Less you come from down yonder
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain't tryna fix it
No I can't hide it
I don't fight it, I just roll with it
Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls
It's the only way I know
Man it ain't my fault
I just live the way I talk
Yeah it's, "Yessir, no ma'am, y'all come back, now"
Fighting words if you run my last name down
I ain't ashamed, matter of fact I'm #### proud
Of the way I talk, y'all
I sounds a little bit like my daddy
I don't cuss around my mama
Got some words you've never heard
'Less you come from down yonder
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain't tryna fix it
No I can't hide it
I don't fight it, I just roll with it
Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls
It's the only way I know
Man it ain't my fault
I just live the way I talk
Slow, like a Sunday morning service back home
And kinda sweet when I got a girl to love on
If you know me, you know
I sounds a little bit like my daddy
I don't cuss around my mama
Got some words you've never heard
'Less you come from down yonder
The man upstairs gets it
So I ain't tryna fix it
No I can't hide it
I don't fight it, I just roll with it
Oh, kinda slow like the Mississippi rolls
It's the only way I know
Man it ain't my fault
I just live the way I talk

Years ago, the wife worked at a company that had global operations. Several located in asia, most of the people had little or no problem with her slight accent. When it was time to talk with others from places like Tennesee, Georgia, and even Texas, they would call the wife to have her translate. Seems that people who have an asian language as first or primary, have a real problem with "southern" dialects.

Yes they do. I ran into that in my Navy years. Had to have a buddy from Chicago make the deal with mama-san for my bar girl(s) everytime i was in Olongapo.
