Tom Petty "Southern Accents" |
There's a southern accent Where I come from. The youngin's call it country, The Yankees call it dumb. I got my own way of talking, But everything gets done With a southern accent Where I come from. Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's Just a motel room to me. Think I might work in Orlando If them orange groves don't freeze. I got my own way of working But everything is run With a southern accent Where I come from. For just a minute, there I was dreaming. For just a minute, it was all so real. For just a minute, she was standing there with me. There's a dream I keep having Where my mamma comes to me And kneels down over by the window And says a prayer for me. I got my own way of praying But everyone's begun With a southern accent Where I come from. I got my own way of living But everything gets done With a southern accent Where I come from.
