Tom Petty - Southern Accents lyrics
[Tom Petty - Southern Accents lyrics]
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young'uns call it country
The yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin
But everything is done
With a southern accent where I come from
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta is
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't freeze
I got my own way of
Workin' 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 mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me i got my own way of
Prayin' but everyone's begun
With a southern accent where I come from
I got my own way of
Livin' but everything gets done
With a southern accent where I come from
The young'uns call it country
The yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin
But everything is done
With a southern accent where I come from
Now that drunk tank in Atlanta is
Just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando
If them orange groves don't freeze
I got my own way of
Workin' 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 mama comes to me
And kneels down over by the window
And says a prayer for me i got my own way of
Prayin' but everyone's begun
With a southern accent where I come from
I got my own way of
Livin' but everything gets done
With a southern accent where I come from
