(Tom Petty)
|
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 talking, but everything gets 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
|
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 momma comes to me
|
And kneels down over by the window, and says a prayer for me
|
Got my own way of praying, but everything one's begun
|
With a southern accent, where I come from
|
|
Got my own way of living, but everything is done
|
With a southern accent, where I come from
|
